The Village of Nakusp is developing an Accessibility Plan. We will use this page to gather feedback on accessibility in Nakusp and provide input on the draft plan.
The Village of Nakusp is committed to continuously working towards providing a safe community based on mutual respect and acceptance of every person. Our vision is to provide municipal programs, services, and environments that are accessible and without barriers to ensure everyone can participate. Accessible communities serve persons with disabilities, persons with injuries, persons burdened with hardships, seniors, and families with young children.
Committee Progress
The Accessibility Committee has engaged a consultant to lead the development of the Nakusp Accessibility Plan, following its direction. A public survey is now available! Please use the link below to provide your feedback.

Legislative Requirements
The Accessibility British Columbia Act came into effect in June 2021. The Act requires municipalities and other organizations to identify how they will identify, remove, and prevent barriers to those working in the organization and those interacting with it. The Act requires municipalities to:
- Have an Accessibility Plan;
- Have an Accessibility Committee to advise on how to remove existing barriers and prevent future barriers; and,
- Have a feedback tool to receive feedback on their Accessibility Plan and how accessible the organization is generally.
