Abstract:
At the February 23 online community-to-community (C3) meeting, representatives from City of Powell River, Tla’amin Nation and qathet Regional District (qRD) addressed the matter of accessibility inventories, which was brought to the meeting by the regional district.
qRD Electoral Area D director Sandy McCormick reported on activities of an accessibility subcommittee of the regional social action and planning advisory committee (SAPAC). McCormick said the subcommittee met on February 9 and social planner Meriko Kubota provided a summary of work done by the city toward accessibility.
“The subcommittee agreed that a first step is an inventory of all the facilities open to the public that are owned and operated by the three governments,” said McCormick. “This would include buildings as well as outdoor spaces, like parks. Research would also be done to determine if categories of accessibility exist, such as what is accessible to everyone, what is accessible to some, et cetera.
