 Accessibility Plan
 
Vision
The City of Vaughan is a city of choice that promotes diversity, innovation and opportunity for all citizens, fostering a vibrant community life that is inclusive, progressive, environmentally responsible and sustainable.
 
Mission
The mission of the City of Vaughan is citizens first through service excellence.
 
Commitment
The City of Vaughan is committed to treating all people in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. By ways of integration and equitable access for residents, visitors, and employees with visible or non-visible disabilities, needs of people with disabilities are met in a timely manner. The City will prevent and remove barriers to accessibility and meet the accessibility requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

The objective of the Vaughan Accessibility Plan is to:

  • respond to the priority needs of persons with disabilities
  • outline corporate accomplishments in creating an accessible, barrier-free environment
  • outline the City of Vaughan’s commitment to accessibility through the development of the Vaughan Accessibility Plan that:
    • identifies the barriers to accessibility and inclusion as they pertain to various municipal services
    • describes suggested improvements each department can make to improve accessibility and inclusion in the services they provide
    • identifies the strategies each department will undertake to achieve their goals as outlined for the period covered
  • communicate the objectives and accomplishments of the Vaughan Accessibility Advisory Committee
  • identify corporate accessible customer service goals and objectives in order to remove barriers to customer service in areas, such as:
    • operational practices
    • policies and procedures
    • communications
    • training
