Why a Multi-Year Accessibility Plan is needed

The County of Brant is home to a diverse variety of people, each with unique abilities, challenges, and perspectives. As our community continues to grow and evolve, it is important that we proactively address accessibility barriers to ensure that everyone can fully participate in and contribute to all aspects of community life.

The Multi-Year Accessibility Plan is a legislative requirement under the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulations. Under the legislation the County is required to reach out to the community to assist in identifying barriers to accessibility and inclusion, then develop a plan to remove those barriers.

The plan provides a structured framework for identifying, prioritizing, and implementing initiatives to enhance accessibility across many sectors, including transportation, infrastructure, public services, employment, and recreation. By taking a proactive and strategic approach, we can systematically remove barriers and create a more inclusive and equitable community for today and years to come.

Your feedback is important

Your voice matters. Your lived experiences, insights, and suggestions are invaluable in shaping the County of Brant's accessibility plan.

Your feedback will help us better understand the accessibility challenges you or someone you care about may face, identify priority areas for improvement, and develop tailored solutions that meet the diverse needs of residents. Whether you are a person with a disability, a caregiver, a parent of a small child, a business owner, a service provider, or a concerned community member, your input is essential in shaping an inclusive and barrier-free County of Brant.
