Have your say on accessibility!

The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District and the City of Port Alberni are preparing their upcoming Accessibility Plans in accordance with the Accessible British Columbia Act (ABCA).

The Region and the City are working together to improve accessibility for residents and visitors to the community. We have engaged the services of Left Turn Right Turn (LTRT), an independent accessibility consulting firm, to help us prepare our plans.

We want to hear from you about accessibility. Have you faced barriers living, working, and recreating in the Region or City? What does an accessible community mean and look like to you? What are your priorities for accessibility as we work to make improvements over the next three years?

Your opinion matters - take our survey located at the ACRD's Let's Connect Page

Share your thoughts by taking the survey! It runs until March 31.
