Conclusion:
The City's Accessibility Plan, under the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, provides a framework and direction that supports and strengthens the City's commitments and efforts to enhance accessibility to its programs, services, employment and facilities. Consultation with the Disability Issues Advisory Committee to provide advice on conducting accessibility audits and the implementation of existing policies, will lead to the elimination and prevention of barriers and will ensure that accessibility is integrated into the everyday thinking of municipal government. Departments have been and will continue to identify and make modifications to processes as part of regular program reviews and the maintenance, repair and renovation of facilities. The financial impact arising from the implementation of new accessibility initiatives will be integrated with Council's consideration of the capital and operating budgets.
