The deadline for the East Kootenay Accessibility Plan Introductory Survey has been extended.

The survey will aid the East Kootenay Accessibility Committee in developing an Accessibility Plan for the RDEK’s Electoral Areas, City of Cranbrook, Village of Canal Flats, and District of Invermere.

“The Accessibility Plan is intended to identify, remove and prevent barriers to ensure our communities are accessible and inclusive so that residents are able to fully participate in all aspects of community life,” said Sandra Haley, RDEK Community Services Coordinator.

“Our decision to extend the deadline was made to make certain that we are reaching the broadest section of our residents and ensuring that anyone who wants to, can submit their input.”

Hearing from residents about their experiences and having them identify barriers, challenges and successes is critical to ensuring the final plan is as comprehensive as possible. The survey will be open until 4:30 p.m. on September 25.

Residents can participate in the survey in a number of ways:
