Accessibility Plan

In 2003, the City of Terrace’s created an Accessibility Plan* with the support of an Advisory Committee made up of local representatives. The current Accessibility Plan, which will be reviewed and updated periodically, outlines Phase I of improving accessibility at the City of Terrace. 

Phase I focuses on improving 'Information and Communication', for example barriers people face when they interact with signage, printed materials, and technology like websites and social media.
