Ontario’s accessibility laws require the Town of Cobourg to have an accessibility advisory committee to advise Council on preparing accessibility plans and achieve the actions within the plan. It is legislated that a majority of members must be People with Disabilities.
The role of the Accessibility Advisory Committee is to provide sound advice and recommendations to the Cobourg Municipal Council on matters relating to the goal of ensuring that individuals with disabilities shall be assured access to basic services generally available in the community.
