Provide feedback for the new multi-year accessibility plan
BRACEBRIDGE, ON (September 12, 2025) – The Town of Bracebridge is working to create a Multi-Year Accessibility Plan and invites all residents, visitors, and community stakeholders to participate in shaping the future of accessibility in the community.
As required by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), the Town is seeking input to guide the development of its upcoming accessibility initiatives. The focus of this multi-year plan will be to enhance the accessibility of Town programs, services, and infrastructure for people of all abilities. Feedback gathered through the survey will help identify existing barriers and inform practical improvements in areas such as accessibility policies, infrastructure, communications, public programs and more.
Residents are encouraged to complete the online survey by Wednesday, October 22 to share their experiences, needs, and ideas to build a more accessible Bracebridge.
