Committee Background
Under the Ontarians With Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA), Accessibility Advisory Committees must be established through a formal council motion, which includes the minimum responsibilities set out in the ODA and details the mandate of the committee.
Municipalities may establish additional responsibilities for their respective accessibility advisory committee such as providing advisory services to a transit agency or another municipality. With the concurrence of the affected local municipal Councils, the County established a joint Accessibility Advisory Committee.
The Joint Middlesex Accessibility Advisory Committee consists of
- the County of Middlesex and the Municipality of Adelaide Metcalfe,
- the Municipality of Lucan Biddulph,
- the Municipality of Middlesex Centre,
- the Municipality of North Middlesex,
- the Municipality of Southwest Middlesex,
- the Municipality of Strathroy-Caradoc, and
- the Municipality of Thames Centre.
