| Welcome to the
website of the Accessibility Advisory Committee ... In existence since 2002, our Committee advises and assists City Council and its affiliated City Agencies and Boards and Commissions in promoting and facilitating a barrier-free London for citizens of all abilities, including persons with disabilities. Our role in helping foster a community approach to accessibility and inclusion includes the review of municipal policies, programs and services and the identification, removal and prevention of barriers faced by persons with disabilities. To learn more about our initiatives and accomplishments please visit Our Activities page. On this page, you'll find highlights of important events such as our annual Empowerment & Action Day conference as well as news and milestones associated with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (the “AODA”). For example, the Accessible Customer Service Policy standards established to make business goods and services more accessible to people with disabilities. We hope this website is helpful and please feel free to contact us at any time or to join one of our meetings. Our members generally meet on the 4th Thursday of each month (except July and December) from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. These meetings are held in one of the Committee Rooms located on the 2nd floor of City Hall. Note: The room used is set up to accommodate wheelchairs/scooters. The Accessibility Advisory Committee has five working subcommittees: Policy Development, Transportation, Facilities & Public Works, Non-visible Disabilities and Education & Awareness. These subcommittees meet once a month, also at City Hall. These meetings, too, are open to the public. Please call 519-661-4500 ext. 0835 or TTY 519-661-4889 for agenda information or to confirm meeting dates and times. The Accessibility Advisory Committee welcomes input on what barriers you - or someone you know - may have encountered in accessing City services, programs or facilities. You can send us an e-mail , call 519-661-2500 ext. 5475 or use the TTY line 519-661-4889. The City of London also offers a number of ways the public can provide feedback on accessibility-related concerns. As well as the options of telephone, mail or in person contact, a Complaint and Feedback form is available.
