The District of Kent wants to know the specific barriers people with disabilities and/or their advocates face when they are trying to:
- Access District owned facilities.
- Access District run programs.
- Receive District services or support.
- Access District owned parks or trails.
We would also like to hear about accessibility features in the District that may be working well. Please use this form to describe experiences and provide feedback on how barriers can be removed or improved.
If you would like help completing this survey or would like to have a discussion around the issue of accessibility in our community, please contact Council Designate Stan Watchorn or the Executive Assistant at 604-796-2235.
Examples of accessibility features and/or barriers are:
- Physical/Environmental: Resulting from building design, smells/sounds, lighting, shape of rooms, size of doorways, etc.
- Attitudinal: Attitudes of District staff and the community, including discriminatory behaviours and lack of disability awareness.
- Communication: How information is received in person, by telephone or online, interacting with staff, etc.
- Information: Signage, brochures, forms, manuals, websites, etc.
- Policy or Practice: Rules, regulations and protocols that help/prevent a person from participating in society.
- Technological: Resulting from lack of assistive technologies.
- Transportation: Relating to transportation including side walks and roadways.
- Economic: Affordability of District run programs and services.
