From Niagara This Week:
The Niagara Parks Commission unveiled its 2013-2017 Accessibility Plan at a public meeting last week. The plan identifies and addresses barriers to information, communication, employment and transportation for people with disabilities.
The first phase of the legislated requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) comes into effect in 2015, and the NPC said they are well ahead of schedule to meet them.
“The plan shown here today deals with how Niagara Parks is implementing provisions of (AODA) to break down barriers,” said NPC chair Janice Thomson. “But here at the NPC, we don’t do it because it’s been legislated, we do it because it’s the right thing to do.”
