2023-2027 Multi-year Accessibility Plan

The Town of Halton Hills is seeking public input on the Draft 2023-2027 Multi-year Accessibility Plan (MYAP). The Town is committed to being responsive to the needs of all its residents by creating an accessible community that is equitable and inclusive and values the contributions of people with disabilities.

Ontario Regulation 191/11 – Integrated Accessibility Standards (IASR) to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requires that municipalities with 50 or more employees create a written MYAP and update it at least once every five years. The purpose of the plan is to outline the steps the municipality will take to prevent and remove barriers to accessibility.

The Accessibility Plan describes the measures that the Town of Halton Hills will take in the next five years to identify, remove, and prevent barriers for people with disabilities, who utilize municipal facilities and services. While the Integrated Accessibility Standard Regulation requires that a multi-year plan be developed to outline how the Town will remove and prevent barriers within the areas of employment, information and communication, and transportation, the Town’s 2023-2027 Multi-Year Plan goes farther in outlining action items to reduce and prevent barriers within all five standards:

• customer service
• employment
• information and communications
• transportation
• built environment (buildings and outdoor spaces).

A status report will be completed annually to outline the progress of measures taken to implement the MYAP. Additionally, an annual review and update of the plan will be conducted to include any new identified priority action items and/or new legislation that is brought forward.

Please provide any comments or feedback on the Town of Halton Hills Draft 2023-2027 MYAP.

The plan has been divided into sections for comments.
