City of
Pickering 2008 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 2008 Annual Accessibility Plan. The plan has been reviewed by the City of Pickering
Accessibility Advisory Committee and was endorsed by Pickering
Council at their September 17, 2007 Council Meeting.
By the end of 2008, the City of
Pickering aims to review and/or remove the barriers identified in
the 2008 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 2008 Annual Accessibility Plan are available at the
Pickering Civic Complex (Customer Care Centre) and the Pickering
Public Library located at One The Esplanade, Pickering.
