Port Hawkesbury will soon have a new committee to assess the accessibility of the town.
Councillors were presented a draft of the terms of reference for the new accessibility committee during January’s regular council meeting Tuesday night.
After the meeting, Brenda Chisholm-Beaton, the town’s mayor, said they want people with disabilities to sit as members of the committee.
“They’re looking at the town through a specific lens,” she said. “(We want them) to help us identify where change is needed, to identify some barriers that we would need to amend or overcome, to apply that knowledge and skill set, and to look at the way our town functions.”
Chisholm-Beaton said there’s an April deadline to strike the committee.
