Accessibility Plan Under Review

The town of Fort Frances is looking at how it can make its facilities and services more accessible to the public.

The town is current conducting a review of its accessibility plan to comply with provincial legislation.

Human Resources Manager Christine Ruppenstein says part of the review includes public input."

"We're looking for information from citizens, persons with disabilities, support people, anybody out there that uses our facilities and services and have experienced barriers in using those services," says Ruppenstein "We're just looking for feedback to help us improve or work towards removing those barriers."

Ruppenstein says its expected the town would have an updated plan early in the new year.

The town is asking residents to fill out a questionnaire available on the town's website.

It can also be obtained at the Civic Centre, Fort Frances Library and Memorial Sports Centre.
