Accessibility

The Township of Ramara acknowledges and recognizes the diversity in our community and strives to provide accessible, user-friendly, and inclusive customer service to everyone.

Accessible Formats - Communication Supports

The Township of Ramara will provide alternate formats of information and communication that is produced or in direct control of the Township. Alternate formats will be provided upon request, in a timely manner and at a cost that is no more than the cost charged for the original format. When it is not practicable to provide an alternate format, the Township will provide or arrange for the provision of an explanation or a summary of the document in an accessible format.

The Township will provide communication supports to members of the public upon request. If the Township is unable to obtain the requested communication support, the Township will work with the individual to determine an appropriate alternative method of communication.

In accordance with applicable legislation, the Township will ensure that websites and web content are created in a manner keeping with the expectations of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA.

Public Meeting

Held annually in the Council Chambers at the Municipal Administration Centre, 2297 Highway 12, Brechin, ON L0K 1B0, this public meeting encourages public input on accessibility issues.

Municipalities with populations of more than 10,000 people are required to form an Accessibility Advisory Committee. As Ramara's population is smaller, we instead focus on our Accessibility Plan and rely on feedback from citizens.
