Elk Valley Accessibility Plan
The District of Sparwood is proud to announce the publication of the Elk Valley Accessibility Plan.
This plan was developed by the Elk Valley Accessibility Committee (EVAC)—a citizen-led group of volunteer residents and appointed municipal representatives from Sparwood, Elkford and Fernie. Working together, their lived experiences, shared insight and collaboration were instrumental in shaping a plan that reflects the needs and values of our three communities.
The Elk Valley Accessibility Plan outlines how we’ll identify, remove and prevent barriers across municipal facilities, services, communications and operations. From policy to infrastructure, it will help guide how our municipalities make decisions, ensuring accessibility and inclusion are always part of the plan.
Grounded in the Accessibility British Columbia Act, the Elk Valley Accessibility Plan marks a meaningful milestone in building a more inclusive Elk Valley and is a significant step forward in promoting accessibility and inclusion in our community.
