Brief Explanation of Project

In 2021 the Accessibility British Columbia Act (ABCA) was enacted to foster an inclusive environment and remove barriers for people with disabilities. 

Requirements for Part 3 of the Act are:

  • Establish an accessibility committee.
  • Develop an accessibility plan by Sept. 1, 2023 
  • Create a feedback mechanism 

The City of Port Alberni has partnered with the ACRD to create a joint regional Accessibility Committee. Advertisements seeking Committee Members will appear in the Newspaper (AV News & Westerly Dec 13 and Jan 3).  *Update* the first meeting of the Accessibility Committee is March 5, 2024.
