Discussion ensued about possible changes to the layout and format of the flyer. Once the flyer is finalized, the plan is to hand them out at community events and transit services. Stephen will email Councillor Littley some additional information to place on the flyer. Councillor Littley will make suggested changes to the flyer and bring in a second draft to the following meeting. Garry suggested making the committee more visible in the community by distributing the flyer and displaying it in places of business. Councillor Littley suggested doing a tour around the City of Pickering to promote awareness and/or to highlight really accessible businesses. Kelly suggested piggybacking on the annual “Mayor’s Light Tour” by using accessible transit. There might not be sufficient time to prepare this for 2007, so these events might be deferred until 2008.
