Community Access Guide
The Coalition is developing an
Accessibility Guide for the Peel and Halton regions. The Accessibility
Guide will provide members of the communities with information on the
accessibility of local facilities, starting with restaurants.
The information collected will be incorporated into an online,
interactive community map. The Coalition will begin posting the results
in late summer.
Over the next several months, Coalition representatives will be passing
out information brochures and booking appointments. If would like more
information about the project or if you know of any restaurant
interested in having a free audit and being promoted in the Community
Access Guide, please e-mail
coalition.pwd@sympatico.ca or contact Matthew at 905.890.0140 ext.
