Report To: Finance and Corporate Services Committee

Submitted By: Mark Hildebrand, Director, Community Programs and
Services (ext. 2687)
Prepared By: Kelly Steiss, Inclusion Coordinator (ext. 2226)
Ward(s) Involved: All
Date of Report: December 21, 2009
Report No.: CSD-10-011
Subject: JOINT ACCESSIBILITY PLAN 2010
(ONTARIANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, 2001)
RECOMMENDATION:
That the 2010 Accessibility Plan attached to the Community Services Department report
(CSD-10-011) be adopted as the Annual Accessibility Plan for 2010 for the City of
Kitchener in accordance with the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001.
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.

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.
