Special Council meeting happening this Wed. May 31st in Council Chamber starting at 6 pm to ALLOW THE PUBLIC AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THEIR VIEWS AND/OR CONCERNS to CITY COUNCIL REGARDING ACCESSIBILITY.
It will be a great meeting to attend or tune in to the webstream because there is an exciting guest speaker
Amanda O'Rourke, Executive Director of www.880cities.org
Amanda is to provide a presentation concerning Building the 8 80 City and International good practices in creating accessible and inclusive public spaces for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.
NOTE: MAY 28 to JUNE 3 is NATIONAL ACCESSIBILITY WEEK.
An improved, barrier-free downtown, and more accessible places both new and old in the City of Oshawa, are attainable! But it requires people believing and committed to ensuring that no Oshawan with a disability is excluded or left to feel like a second class citizen. The Oshawa Accessibility Advisory Committee volunteer members are working to encourage others to help bring the lens on accessibility into sharper focus and accomplish more together. It is the way to a better City.
By the way, the hard working Oshawa Accessibility Advisory Committee members will be in attendance and you can compliment them on their new T-Shirts with the special OAAC LOGO.

I say the OAAC volunteer members are hardworking because I know the hours they put into, not only reviewing the new building site plans and city park redevelopment plan for accessibility, and attending events to promote accessibility like at the Peony Festival and Canada Day when the have a display table. But also, when they attend at various city facilities to check on accessible upgrades needed.
Below are pictures from the OAAC re-audit yesterday of the elevator upgrade at the Donovan Community Centre.
We checked out the area (now set up for 4 PICKLEBALL COURTS and the 6 LANE POOL.
Surprisingly both were empty between 1:30 and 2 pm Thurs. May 25th.
Spread the word Donovan is a great city facility at 171 HARMONY RD S (725-3536)
