Accessibility Plan 2022-2025

This Accessibility Plan 2022-2025 was developed by the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth Accessibility Advisory Committee and was approved by municipal council during the Regular Council meeting of February 23rd, 2022.  The Accessibility Advisory Committee provides advice to municipal council on identifying, preventing, and eliminating barriers experienced by people with disabilities in municipal programs, services, initiatives and facilities, and works with staff on the development and oversight of this plan. This document outlines the overarching goals for improving accessibility in the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth. Over the course of the next 10 years, the Municipality will work incrementally at achieving the goals of this plan.  The Accessibility Plan 2022-2025 is available for viewing at the following link:
