Accessibility

The Municipality of Greenstone strives to be an accessible community that is inclusive to all people. We offer adult protective services, accessible event planning and windrow removal services. 

Provide feedback

We strive every day to find ways to increase accessibility within our community. We welcome feedback from residents and visitors on accessibility matters on a yearround basis. Help us identify barriers by completing our customer service feedback form for service interactions, or by providing feedback in person, by mail, or phone to the Municipal Clerk. Feedback can also be submitted to any ward office. 

Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)

We strive to provide equal opportunity to everyone by making sure our legislation follows the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). By putting these regulations in place, we can help people with disabilities take part in life's everyday activities.

Our businesses and organizations must meet accessibility regulations for:

• Customer service
• Transportation
• Information and communications
• Built environment
• Employment

Accessibility plan

The Municipality of Greenstone's Multi-Year Accessibility Plan shows our commitment to making a more inclusive, accessible community. The plan describes the measures the Municipality will take to identify, remove and precent barriers to people with disabilities.
