The City of Brampton is inviting the community to share their voice and help shape the next Multi-Year Accessibility Plan (2027–2031) by participating in a survey.
The City is seeking meaningful input from persons living with disabilities, caregivers and advocates so the next plan reflects real lived experiences and addresses existing barriers to accessibility.
“Brampton is committed to building a city where accessibility is not an afterthought, but a fundamental part of an inclusive community. As we develop our next Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, we are focused on listening to our community and making accessibility part of how residents experience city programs, services and spaces.”
– Patrick Brown, Mayor, City of Brampton
Under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (O. Reg. 191/11), municipalities are required to review and update their accessibility plans at least once every five years. Brampton’s current 2022–2026 plan is set to expire at the end of 2026, and work is now underway to build the next phase of progress.
The City remains committed to preventing and removing barriers while advancing equitable access for residents and visitors. Community input will play a central role in identifying priorities and shaping new initiatives for the 2027–2031 plan.
Since the launch of the current Multi-Year Accessibility Plan, the City has made meaningful progress in advancing accessibility across programs, services and public spaces, including:
- Upgrades to City facilities to improve physical accessibility. • Accessibility training delivered to City staff to support inclusive service delivery.
- Expanded accessible programming, events and services.
- Introduction of hearing loop technology at 27 locations across the city, including seniors’ centres, recreation centres, Service Brampton locations, Transit terminals and Brampton City Hall.
In addition to the public survey, engagement will include collaboration with the City’s Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC), keeping community voices and lived experiences at the centre of decision-making.
