City of Pickering 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan The purpose of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) is to improve opportunities for people with disabilities and to provide for their involvement in the identification, removal, and prevention of barriers to their full participation in the life of the province. The ODA mandates that all municipalities prepare annual accessibility plans. To this end, the City of Pickering has prepared the 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan. The plan has been reviewed by the City of Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee and was endorsed by Pickering Council at their January 17, 2011 Council Meeting. By the end of 2011, the City of Pickering aims to review and/or remove the barriers identified in the 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan. Over the next several years, the City of Pickering aims to address all facility related improvements as outlined in the City’s 2000 Accessibility Audit. Hard copies of the City of Pickering 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan are available at the Pickering Civic Complex (Customer Care Centre) and the Pickering Public Library located at One the Esplanade, Pickering. If you require the plan in alternate formats, please contact Customer Care at 905.683.7575. |
