The Municipal Accessibility Steering Committee guides the Municipal Accessibility Support Program by providing oversight, direction, advocacy, and decision-making to promote program success.
Each member brings their unique experiences and perspectives to the committee, both professionally and personally, to ensure the Municipal Accessibility Support Program is meeting the needs of those it is designed to support, as well as following accessibility best practices in all we do.
