As part of the Accessible BC Act our school district has made available a form at the bottom of this page for members of the public that interact with us to provide feedback about accessibility in our organization.
The Accessible British Columbia Act aims to support the identification, prevention, and removal of barriers that people with disabilities face in their day-to-day lives.
Key themes of the act:
Disability: An inability to participate fully and equally in society as a result of the interaction of an impairment and a barrier.
Barrier: Essentially, anything that hinders the full and equal participation in society of a person with an impairment.
Impairment: A physical, sensory, mental, intellectual, or cognitive impairment which is permanent, temporary, or episodic.
Jointly developed with districts in Northern British Columbia, School District 60’s accessibility plan is included below. A Feedback mechanism where you can provide feedback to our advisory committee as well as on the plan is available below the following PDF.

The feedback we receive will be shared with both our Accessibility Advisory Committee and our Accessibility Working Group. We will also share feedback to relevant department or school leaders. Staff are welcome to use this form and are reminded if they need an accommodation to connect with their supervisor and human resources separately from the feedback form.
