The Village of Nakusp has developed an Accessibility Plan, and will review and update this plan every three years. We will use this page to gather feedback on accessibility and any barriers our residents and visitors may face in Nakusp and provide input on the plan itself.
The Village of Nakusp is committed to continuously working to provide a safe community based on mutual respect and the acceptance of every person. Our vision is to provide municipal programs, services, and environments that are accessible and free of barriers so that everyone can participate. Accessible communities serve persons with disabilities, persons with injuries, persons burdened with hardships, seniors, and families with young children.
