A Council Member motion regarding the statement of commitment adopted by the Victoria Accessibility Working Group and their request that the statement be adopted as policy.

Recommendation: That the City of Victoria endorse the following statement of commitment adopted by the Victoria Accessibility Working Group on March 6, 2017: The City of Victoria values the contributions made by all its citizens and believes that diversity strengthens the community. The City of Victoria recognizes the wealth of knowledge and lived experience of people with disabilities and their essential role in creating a barrier-free Victoria and thus, will include the viewpoint and needs of persons with disabilities in its decisions. The City of Victoria is committed to building an inclusive society and providing an accessible environment in which all individuals have access to the City’s services and programs in a way that respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities. The City of Victoria’s policies, practices and procedures will ensure barrier free access for persons with disabilities to City facilities and participation in programs and processes including accessible customer service, information and communication, employment, the built environment and transportation. The City of Victoria will ensure that all city employees are aware of their role in facilitating accessibility for persons with disabilities. The City of Victoria will continue to prevent barriers by supporting positive attitudes that address "ableism" - attitudes which devalue and limit the potential of persons with disabilities. In working towards its goals under this Statement, the City of Victoria is committed to creating a barrier-free city by meeting the requirements of existing and future legislation and by its own policies and goals related to the identification, removal and prevention of barriers to people with disabilities. To this end, all elected City officials and City employees have a role to play in meeting these goals.
