BACKGROUND: In accordance with the requirements of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) legislation, an annual Accessibility Plan is prepared and subsequently made available to the public. The purpose of the accessibility plan is to assist municipalities with the identification and removal of existing barriers and with the development of strategies to prevent new barriers from being established. REPORT: The Joint Accessibility Plan 2010 was prepared in response to the legislative ODA directive that requires municipalities to identify, prevent and remove barriers for persons with a disability. The Cities of Kitchener and Waterloo implemented an Accessibility Inventory Checklist which was completed by municipal staff in order to identify what is being done well and where there are areas to remove barriers. On January 1, 2008, the Accessibility for Ontarians with a Disability Act, 2005 (AODA) enacted the Customer Service Regulation which directs how municipalities (and includes scheduled organizations and the private sector) will deliver accessible customer service for persons with a disability. Strategies and initiatives to comply with this regulation are included in the Plan. This Regulation is the first of five standards to be legislated. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: On September 26, 2005, Council approved that a Capital Budget be established to fund corporate projects that will remove barriers to accessibility for persons with disabilities and allocated $100,000 per year for the years 2006-2011. Since that approval, the Corporate Accessibility Steering Group was appointed. As part of their mandate under the approved Terms of Reference, this Group has reviewed and approved proposals for funding under this Fund. Attached to the Community Services Department report CSD-10-011 as Appendix B is the financial summary for this fund, as of January 26, 2010. COMMUNICATIONS: The Plan will be made available to the public in print copy, posted on the City of Kitchener and participating municipality web sites and in municipal facilities. Alternate formats (Braille, large print, audio tape, etc) will be made available upon request. Mark Hildebrand, Director Community Programs and Services ACKNOWLEDGED BY: Report No. CSD-10-011 -Appendix A City of Kitchener and City of Waterloo 2010 Joint Accessibilitv Plan Executive Summary This report was prepared as required in order to meet the obligations of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA). The Plan describes the actions each of the participating municipalities took in 2009 and the areas to be reviewed, including measures and actions, in 2010. The Cities of Kitchener and Waterloo are proud to present the Joint Plan and to report on the steps that are being taken to identify, prevent and remove barriers to accessibility in our communities. BACKGROUND Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) The Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) was passed into law "to improve opportunities for persons with disabilities and to provide for their full involvement in the identification, prevention and removal of barriers to their full participation in the life of the Province". The ODA applies to all municipalities, hospitals, district school boards, colleges, universities, public transportation organizations, the Ontario Government, ministries and agencies. The ODA requires municipalities to prepare annual accessibility plans and to get advice from an accessibility advisory committee on the contents of the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to identify, prevent and remove barriers to accessibility in each municipality's by-laws, policies, practices and services. The accessibility plan must be made available to the public. At present, the Ministry has retained the services of Charles Beer to conduct an independent and arms length audit of the ODA and the impact on the current regulations on the ability to improve accessibility for persons with a disability. We anticipate the results of his review in February 2010. Accessibilitv for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) The AODA focuses on improving accessibility in areas such as buildings and spaces, employment, customer service, information and communications and transportation in the private, government and broader public sector. The AODA intends to achieve an accessible Ontario on or before January 1, 2025. To do so, mandatory and enforceable standards will be implemented. These Standards include: Customer Service Standard • Established as regulation 429-07 on January 1, 2008 • Municipalities required to comply by January 1, 2010 Transportation Standard • Currently with the Minister. Awaiting the decision to accept, accept with changes or reject. Information and Communication Standard • Currently with the Minister. Awaiting the decision to accept, accept with changes or reject. Employment Standard • Currently with the Minister. Awaiting the decision to accept, accept with changes or reject. Built Environment Standard • Public review of document made available with responses due Fall 2009. More information on the Standards can be found at www.gov.on.ca Grand River Accessibility Advisory Committee (GRAAC) The Grand River Accessibility Advisory Committee was established to advise the participating Councils on the preparation, implementation and effectiveness of the Joint Plan. The participating municipalities include the Cities of Kitchener and Waterloo, the Region of Waterloo and the Townships of Woolwich, Wellesley and North Dumfries. The Councils also seek advice from GRAAC on the accessibility of buildings, structures or premises that the municipalities purchase, build, renovate or leases as municipal capital facilities. GRAAC also reviews site plans and drawings for new municipal buildings or developments (as per Section 41 of the Planning Act) that the Committee selects. In 2009, GRAAC had the Built Environment Sub-Committee - to review and comment on site plans and the Transportation Sub-Committee - to examine transportation issues within the scope of municipal responsibility. These issues may include: travel by pedestrians, transit (conventional or specialized transit), taxi or use of a personal vehicle.
