Vaughan City Council recently recognized National Access Awareness Week with initiatives designed to help its representatives better understand the challenges that those who have accessibility issues face every day.
The Mayor, the Senior Management team, the City Clerk, and Members of Council all sat in wheelchairs for one hour of the June 2nd meeting of the Committee of the Whole. This was intended to help them experience what someone in such a device has to go through in their daily life.
According to city representatives, there are many people in Vaughn who face challenges to accessibility, and the area is committed to providing a respectful environment that is as accessible as possible for all its citizens. It provides barrier-free services and programs, and is continuing its efforts to identify and remove the obstacles that exist within the community.
A firm that provides printing services can help it to reach this goal by including braille on printed signage, printing Signs that let people know that a facility is accessible for people in wheelchairs, producing printed version of spoken speeches, and presentations for those who are hearing impaired.
The city had proclaimed that the dates between May 31 and June 6 would be National Access Awareness week in Vaughan. The national event was established in 1988 to help make people more aware of the issues surrounding access for people who have a disability. Get a Free Quote for Signs
