Accessibility Advisory Committee

The Accessibility Advisory Committee meets on the first Wednesday of every second month, from 12:00 – 2:00 pm on Microsoft Teams. The Committee will play a key role in informing the City of Kimberley Age-Friendly Accessibility Plan, which will shape accessibility in Kimberley for years to come. 

Public engagement to inform the Age-Friendly Accessibility Plan will run from February to mid-March 2025. Visit the project page on EngageKimberley to complete a survey and learn more about focus groups, one-on-one interviews, and the Public Open House. Paper copies of the survey are available at City Hall.

The City of Kimberley Accessibility Advisory Committee champions, informs and provides feedback to City Council and staff on a range of City initiatives, programs and services through an accessibility lens.

The Committee’s responsibilities include: 

  • Advising the City in the development of and updates to its Accessibility Plan;
  • Advising Council as it establishes priorities, develops policies and plans, and implements programs related to accessibility;
  • Assisting the City with identifying barriers related to civic infrastructure including municipal services and online resources;
  • Advising the City on a process for receiving comments from the public on the City’s accessibility plan and barriers to individuals in or interacting with the organization; and
  • Other matters as referred by Council. 

We post Committee meeting agendas and minutes on our Document Archive site. Minutes are added to the website after they are received by Council, which takes place at the Regular Council meeting most recently following the Accessibility Advisory Committee Meeting in which the minutes are adopted. For example, minutes from the Wednesday, January 8th Committee Meeting would be adopted by the Committee at the Wednesday, March 6th Meeting, presented to Council for review at the Regular Council Meeting on Monday, March 11th and subsequently posted in our public document center.
