Accessibility Feedback

The Municipality of Lakeshore is committed to Accessibility in our communities. Accessibility is an important part of everything the municipality does and our website is no exception. We're doing as much as we can to make sure that everyone can access the information they need.

Lakeshore's Accessibility Plan, reviewed by the Lakeshore Accessibility Advisory Committee and approved by Council, helps to identify, remove and prevent barriers to allow individuals in the Municipality of Lakeshore to participate. The Plan is updated for every term of Council. The new 2023-2027 plan will be available before the end of the year.

Administration and the Accessibility Advisory Committee welcome your comments. If you have questions or comments, use the feedback form below to submit your comments.

Below are guidelines to create  accessible  events and learn more about accessibility. 

• Accessibility Laws
• Guide to Accessible Festivals & Outdoor Events
• Ontario Accessibility Resources (a catalogue of free resources to help you comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act)
• Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) 

The inclusion of everyone is important in all aspects of the community. Accessibility Ontario has created an Accessible Event Planning Guide. The guide provides information on no-cost and low-cost actions that can help reduce barriers for people with disabilities and make all types of events more inclusive. If you are planning an event, be sure to check out this guide for more information.

In the event a document provided on the website contains elements that are inaccessible, an alternative method will be provided by contacting the Municipal Office at 519-728-2700. 

Essex County Accessibility Advisory Committee (ECAAC)

The Essex County Accessibility Advisory Committee works year-round to promote inclusiveness and awareness and to share information about accessibility concerns throughout the region.
