If so, we encourage you to apply for a volunteer position on our advisory bodies. This year Council is introducing a brand-new Committee, devoted to accessibility:
The general purpose of the Committee is to provide advice and make recommendations to Council on matters related to accessibility within the municipal boundaries of the District of Tofino.
The Committee will develop an accessibility plan to identify and prevent barriers to people with disabilities and will also develop a public feedback mechanism which establishes a process for receiving comments from the public on the accessibility plan and local barriers.
