2018-2025 Multi-Year Accessibility Plan

Outlines how we’ll continue to remove barriers and improve accessibility.

The Plan aligns with the Region's 20-Year Strategic Plan and the Province's timeline to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities by January 1, 2025.

This new Multi-Year Plan outlines the initiatives the Region will undertake from 2018 - 2025 under the Living, Thriving and Leading areas of the Strategic Plan. It builds on the Region's accomplishments since the introduction of the first multi-year plan in 2013.

The Plan is reviewed annually by the Region of Peel Accessibility Advisory Committee and reported to Council for any updates or necessary amendments.
