The City of Barrie is committed to removing barriers and improving accessibility across policies, programs, and facilities.
As part of ongoing efforts to foster an inclusive community for people of all abilities, older adults, and seniors, the City is reviewing and updating its Multi-year Accessibility Plan and Age-Friendly Community Plan.
Both plans aim to support residents and visitors of all ages by identifying, preventing, and removing barriers to accessibility. To ensure the City continues to meet the evolving needs of the community and the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, periodic reviews are conducted.
