Accessibility

• Focus on Accessibility

  In 2021, the Province of British Columbia passed the Accessible BC Act requiring municipalities to develop a plan that addresses accessibility to municipal services, programs, and infrastructure. Everyone will experience permanent, temporary, or episodic impairments over their lifetime either personally, or through caring for someone else. By focusing on accessibility, we can work towards becoming a municipality where every person is able to participate fully and equally and is empowered to pursue the life they wish to live.

• Accessibility Plan

  To improve accessibility to our municipal services, facilities, and natural and built environments, the District of 100 Mile House is working to develop an Accessibility Plan. The Plan will identify  challenges people experience with our:

  • Information
  • Communication
  • Technologies
  • Policies
  • Practices; and
  • Infrastructure

  It will take time to eliminate barriers, however the Plan is the first step in identifying how we can improve accessibility going forward.

  The Plan must be reviewed and updated every three years and will incorporate information gathered through public feedback and committee input. 

• Accessibility Committee

  An initial Accessibility Committee has been established and will be working towards creating a plan that works well for our community.

  Meetings will be open to the public and written feedback is welcome.
