The City and the City’s Accessibility Advisory Committee (http://bit.ly/2JpH9JC) is committed to improving the accessibility of our community, including the accessibility of some of our oldest buildings. In the past, the City has provided downtown Barrie businesses with information regarding available resources for making their businesses more accessible, and we are happy to continue to do so.
Should you have additional ideas or resources to share on this matter, please reach out to the downtown BIA (https://downtownbarrie.ca/contact) or email CityClerks@barrie.ca to reach a representative of the Accessibility Advisory Committee directly.
