Progress is being made as Perth County works to remove barriers for people with disabilities. That’s according to Accessibility Coordinator Mary Anne Melanson who says many improvements have already been made, more are in the works and a five-year plan is being developed.
Melanson made the comments after Paralympic gold
medalist and Rick Hansen Foundation Ambassador Chris Daw made a presentation to
County Council Thursday. The visit was an early kick-off to National
Accessibility Awareness Week which will be recognized from May 27th to June 2nd.
Some low key activities will be held that week but
Melanson suggests the County, St. Marys and Stratford are planning a big event
for 2013.
