UFV’s Accessibility Advisory Committee is asking that each person at the university take the time to participate in British Columbia’s feedback program to inform the new accessibility legislation. The B.C. Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction has announced the preparations for new Accessibility Legislation beginning with a community engagement program which runs until November 29, 2019.
B.C. is the largest province in Canada without some form of accessibility legislation to help identify, remove, and prevent barriers experienced by persons with disabilities. This is your chance to have your say about what accessibility measures are necessary in B.C. to ensure more inclusive learning, working and living environments.
Anyone can submit their ideas in a questionnaire, by email, by meetings, or any of these listed below:
- Questionnaire: Complete the online questionnaire (takes five minutes)
- Email/phone: Send your comments by email or leave your comments by telephone at 844 878-0640 (toll free)
- Town Hall: Participate in a virtual town hall
- Formal Submission: Organizations, self-advocates and advocates can make a formal submission on the Framework for Accessibility Legislation.
- The Accessibility Committee will be holding two open houses to gather comments from our community.
