Accessibility Advisory Committee
The role of the Accessibility Advisory Committee is to provide advice to the municipal government on a wide range of municipal processes to help make public services and facilities accessible to everyone.
The main responsibilities of an accessibility advisory committee are:
- Advise municipal council about requirements, implementation of accessibility standards and preparation of accessibility reports
- Review site plans and drawings described in Section 41 of the Planning Act
- Perform all other functions that are specified in the regulations

Coming Soon!
The Accessibility Advisory Committee meetings are generally held once a month at the Collingwood Public Library and by Zoom webinar with the provision that at least four meetings be held per year. A regular meeting schedule is established each year which may be reviewed from time to time.
