Purpose
In alignment with the Accessible BC Act, the North Shore Accessibility Advisory Committee (formerly the North Shore Advisory Committee on Disability Issues) supports the North Shore municipal partner organizations by identifying barriers for people with disabilities who interact with our government organizations, seek services, and participate in the community. The committee provides advice on how to remove and prevent barriers and provides an accessibility lens on municipal plans and projects.
Membership
Prospective volunteer members from the District of West Vancouver must:
- have a disability or support a person with a disability;
- be a resident of the District; and
- be able to attend meetings on a bi-monthly basis that are approximately two hours long and are held in a hybrid format, a combination of in-person and virtual attendees.
Balanced representation across the three North Shore communities will provide for a maximum of 15 voting members, including three spots for people from organizations supporting persons with disabilities, and three more for Indigenous persons. At least half of those appointed will be persons with disabilities; others may be community members who support persons with disabilities. All appointees serve two-year terms concluding on December 31.
