The City of Guelph celebrated the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, with a brief presentation at City Hall. City Accessibility Coordinator, Kayla Besse, highlighted this year’s UN theme of Fostering Disability-Inclusive Societies for Advancing Social Progress.
Besse outlined the City of Guelph’s ongoing work to enhance accessibility across departments, including updates that will offer on-demand accessible document training in the new year.
After the presentation, Meg Harding, representing our Guelph Barrier Free Committee, along with various other attendees joined Mayor Cam Guthrie for a flag-raising ceremony outside Guelph City Hall.
The International Day of Persons with Disabilities Flag will remain up until the end of the week.
