Executive Summary

With the introduction of this first-ever Accessibility Plan for the Village of St. Peter’s, the Village is beginning its journey to becoming fully accessible by 2030. This plan was created in partnership with the Municipality of the County of Richmond, and our shared Accessibility Advisory Committee. Together, we have drafted a shared vision, statement of commitment, and series of focus area commitments and actions for our Municipal units to pursue together or in tandem. The Village of St. Peter’s and the Municipality of the County of Richmond are committed to providing a barrier-free environment for all who use our facilities, contact us or access our information.

The Vision

The Village of St. Peter’s is inclusive and provides meaningful access for all regardless of ability or age. As a community, we will promote awareness, remove barriers, and put lived experience at the forefront of future decisions.

Focus Areas

The Accessibility Plan is intended to be a flexible and evolving document that builds on the current priorities of the Village. It will also be responsive to changing conditions. The plan includes five key focus areas to help guide action towards the vision:

• Goods and Services

• Built Environment

• Information and Communication

• Employment

• Transportation

Each of the five focus areas includes a goal, an overview of the current state, local accessibility achievements and barriers. They also include several guiding policy statements to assist in accessibility decision-making. These focus areas are actioned using 9 short-term actions for the Village of St. Peter’s
