City of Rossland releases draft Accessibility Plan

The City of Rossland has launched the second round of community engagement for its newly released draft accessibility plan, which aims to advance accessibility and inclusion throughout the community.

Through the plan, the city hopes to identify and remove barriers that prevent people from fully participating in community life and to improve accessibility in city-owned spaces, programs, and services.

The draft Accessibility Plan was developed through community focus groups, a survey during Round 1 engagement, a review of key policies, and site visits.

For the second round of engagement, residents are invited to provide feedback on the draft plan through a survey that opened on October 21 and closes on November 11. The survey can be found online or picked up at City Hall.

The city says the input gathered during this second round will be crucial as it works to finalize the plan and ensure it reflects the needs and priorities of Rossland residents.
