Accessibility

More

When a person has a disability, it can be visible or non-visible. The Township of Minden Hills recognizes that persons with disabilities should be provided with an equal opportunity to access goods, services and information in a manner consistent with the principles of independence, dignity, integration and equality.

Our goal is to remove barriers and provide accessible goods, services, and facilities for all of our residents. The Township aims to provide accessible goods, services, and facilities through the:

Joint Accessibility Plan

  • 2018-2022 Multi Year Joint Accessibility Plan
  • 2018-2022 Multi Year Joint Accessibility Plan Attachment – Identified Barriers
  • 2018 Accessibility Accomplishments

Accessibility for Ontarians Act, 2005

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) is an important accessibility law. The goal is to create provincial accessibility standards and make Ontario completely accessible by 2025.

Governments, businesses, and other private organizations that provide goods, services, and facilities to people in Ontario will have to meet accessibility standards. The following are the standards in the Integrated Accessibility Standards under the AODA:

  • Customer Service
  • Transportation
  • Information and Communication
  • Built Environment
  • Employment

Accessibility Policies

  • Accessibility & Customer Service – Policy 60
  • Integrated Accessibility – Policy 95

Ontarians with Disabilities Act

  • Ontarians with Disabilities Act

How you can provide feedback

Feedback can be provided by contacting the Clerk's Department.

We are committed to providing high quality customer service. We welcome public input as it helps to identify areas where changes are required and ways in which we can improve the delivery of goods and services.

Alternate Formats and Communication Supports

We are happy to accommodate your accessibility request. If you require an accessible document or communication supports, contact our Clerk's Department.

Whether you need a ride to get to an appointment, pick up groceries or attend an event, we can help match you with services that meet your transportation needs.

Post-Election Accessibility Report

In accordance with section 12.1(3) of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, the Clerk shall provide a report, within 90 days after voting day in a regular election, about the identification, removal and prevention of barriers that affect electors and candidates with accessibility needs.  This report outlines the various initiatives undertaken during the course of the 2018 Municipal Election regarding the identification, removal and prevention of barriers that affect electors and candidates with disabilities.
