The region has recognized eight local champions with an Accessibility Award in honour of International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
The award recognizes their dedication to removing barriers and making the region more accessible for people of all abilities.
Each year, the local Accessibility Advisory Committees (AACs) nominate individuals, businesses or services based on their efforts in identifying, removing and preventing barriers for individuals living with a disability.
“I would like to congratulate the winners of this year’s Accessibility Awards,” says Regional Chair John Henry, adding their efforts are an example of how the various communities are working together to support people of all ages and abilities.
