RE: Town council to discuss bylaw exemptions to allow horse and buggy business in Navy Yard Park
With the exception of Councillor Diane Pouget, shame on council for putting accessibility after the cart. In particular, shame on Councillor Bart DiPasquale, a member of the town’s accessibility advisory committee, for not representing the rights of residents with disabilities.
It has taken a while but the Guide for the Integrated Accessibility Standard Regulation (IASR) is now available on the AODA.ca website.
The Government’s version spanned some 80 odd pages with many errors and differing list structures, but it is finally ready in 1 single accessible page and can be found in the side menu of the AODA.ca website or go directly there by visiting https://www.aoda.ca/?page_id=1888
