Multi-Year Accessibility Plan

The Township’s Multi-Year Accessibility Plan (MYAP) is a requirement under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) . It is a five-year plan to identify, remove, and prevent accessibility barriers across the organization by committing to specific initiatives and outcomes aimed at making sure that people with disabilities can participate in the Township’s programs, services, facilities, public spaces, information, and communication, and employment.

The 2024-2029 Multi-Year Accessibility Plan is attached for review. Please contact Carmen Miller, Clerk by email or call 613-626-2282 ext 123 for an accessible format of the Plan.

The 2024-2029 Multi-Year Accessibility Plan has been passed by council on September 5, 2023.

The multi-year plan sets out strategies to identify and remove barriers to accessibility as required by the AODA.
