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 Accessibility Committee has engaged a consultant to lead the development of the Nakusp Accessibility Plan, following its direction. A public survey will be posted in the coming months, followed by Community engagement in the fall.
Committee meetings are open to the public. A meeting schedule can be found below.
Nakusp Accessibility Advisory Committee Meeting Schedule
The Accessibility British Columbia Act came into effect in June 2021. The Act requires municipalities and other organizations to identify how the organization will identify, remove, and prevent barriers to those in your organization and those who interact 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.
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.
