Accessibility Advisory Committee - Volunteer Opportunity

Are you looking to make a difference in your community? Why not consider serving as a volunteer member of the newly formed Accessibility Advisory Committee?

The Accessibility Advisory Committee provides advice to the Municipal Council on identifying, preventing and eliminating barriers to people with disabilities in municipal programs, services, initiatives and facilities. The committee plays a pivotal role in helping the Municipality of the County of Victoria to become an accessible community that complies with Nova Scotia’s Accessibility Act (2017).

At least one half of the members of the Accessibility Advisory Committee must have a disability or represent an organization that represents people with disabilities. Disability includes a physical, mental, intellectual, learning, or sensory impairment—including an episodic disability—that, in interaction with a barrier, hinders an individual’s full and effective participation in society.

Applications can be downloaded here or can be picked up at the Municipal Office at 495 Chebucto Street, Baddeck. The deadline for applications is 4:00 p.m., Monday, March 9, 2020. Your completed application may be submitted by mail, in person, or by email to:
Municipality of the County of Victoria
PO Box 370, 495 Chebucto Street
