Seeking Members for Our Accessibility Advisory Committee

Thursday, December 21, 2023

  1. Home
  2. Seeking Members for Our Accessibility Advisory Committee

The Town of Harbour Grace has engaged a consultant to assist with the completion of its first Accessibility Plan. The Plan will consider a multitude of factors which can create barriers to inclusive participation, including, but not limited to, inaccessible infrastructure and non-inclusive policies and technologies.

When developed, the Plan will help guide the Town in accessibility standards and inclusive practices.

To help advise the Plan and make recommendations regarding its implementation, the Town is creating an Accessibility Advisory Committee (6-8 members), which, ideally, will seek a diverse membership from the following groups:

  • Persons with accessibility challenges or lived experience with a disability (ie., those with physical disabilities; visual or hearing impairments; etc.);
  • Persons from the community’s aging population (ie., seniors 65+);
  • Persons from the Indigenous community;
  • Persons from the LGBTQ2+ community;
  • Persons from a minority ethnic or national community, or a newcomer/immigrant;
  • Persons with mental health issues;
  • Persons with intellectual impairments (ex., autism);
  • Unhoused persons; and
  • Representatives from special interest groups engaged with the above communities.

If you are interested in serving on the Accessibility Advisory Committee, please complete the application form. The form can be picked up at the Town Hall, 112 Water Street, Harbour Grace, NL, or downloaded on our website here:

Completed applications can be delivered to the Town Hall during office hours or emailed to the general email, [email protected], with the subject line “AAC application.”

Please consider serving on our Accessibility Advisory Committee and helping us create a more inclusive community!
