That ReportOES 01-11 regarding the City of Pickering 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan be received; and 2. That Council endorse the City of Pickering 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan as presented and reviewed by the City of Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee. Executive Summary: The purpose of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) is to improve opportunities for people with disabilities and to provide for their involvement in the identification, removal, and prevention of barriers to their full participation in the life of the province. The ODA mandates that all municipalities prepare annual accessibility plans. By the end of 2011, the City of Pickering aims to review and/or remove the barriers identified in the 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan. Over the next several years, the City of Pickering aims to address all facility related improvements as outlined in the City's 2000 Accessibility Audit. Financial Implications: The City of Pickering commits a total of $35,000 in its annual capital budget to remove or prevent facility related barriers. As a result, many of the facility related barriers included in the 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan would draw on these funds identified under capital account 5719.6183. The potential costs to complete policy and service related barriers will be subject to approved 2011 capital and operating budgets. Any barrier that cannot be completed within the 2011 approved capital or operating budget will be deferred to future annual accessibility plans. Report OES 01-11 January 10, 2011 Subject: City of Pickering 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan Page 2 194 Sustainability Implications: The City of Pickering is committed to meeting the needs of all its citizens. The Annual Accessibility Plan is one way to continually assess our service delivery and remove barriers where they exist. A barrier free municipality fosters a community where civic pride and civic participation can be maximized. The engagement of all its citizens is a fundamental component to achieving a sustainable community. Removing barriers enables full community participation for generations to come. Background: The Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) received Royal Assent on December 14, 2001. The purpose of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) is to improve opportunities for people with disabilities and to provide for their involvement in the identification, removal, and prevention of barriers to their full participation in the life of the province. Under the Act, all municipalities are required to prepare annual accessibility plans, make the plans public and consult persons with disabilities. According to the Ontario Accessibility Directorate within the Ministry of Citizenship, the purpose of the Annual Accessibility Plan is to describe the measures that the municipality has taken in recent years and the measures the municipality will be taking in the coming year to identify, remove and prevent barriers for people with disabilities. According to the requirements of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA), the City of Pickering has prepared the 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan. The City's plan is for the period of January 2011 to December 2011. The barriers identified in the 2011 Plan were based on information collected from City staff. The 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan has been reviewed and endorsed by the City of Pickering Accessibility Advisory Committee. In order to make the plan available to the public, the City of Pickering will place an advertisement in the local newspaper to announce the completion and availability of the 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan. The public will be able to access the 2011 Annual Accessibility Plan electronically via the City of Pickering website or by picking up a hard copy at the Pickering Civic Complex or Pickering Central Library.
