Our Commitment to Accessibility
We are committed to being responsive to the needs of all its residents. To do this, we must recognize the diverse needs of all of our residents and respond by striving to provide services and facilities that are accessible to all. As an employer, and a provider of services, we are committed to ensuring our services are provided in an accessible manner.
We promote accessibility through the development of policies, procedures, and practices, and by ensuring they consider people with disabilities. To do this we must ensure the policies, procedures, and practices, address integration, independence, dignity, and equal opportunity.
Accessibility Policy
Our Accessibility Policy establishes a policy for the Town to govern the provision of its goods and services by employees, agents or volunteers to persons with disabilities. Our employees will be trained in respect of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) and the Ontario Human Rights Code. This will include training staff and volunteers in all aspects of Customer Service, establish a feedback process for suggestions and complaints, set policy for support persons, notices of service disruption, accommodation for service animals, formation of documents and make available assistive devices as required.
