Could I please suggest some “new business” for the next FAAC meeting? This https://www.we.org/stories/creating-an-accessible-ontario/ is a link to a government-related accessibility initiative for students and schools. I’m not sure if the County or FAAC has ever interacted with regional schools, but it seems to me that urging our local schools to take up this material and perhaps do something in the community around accessibility might be a good move. Just a tiny further thought. They could perhaps be urged to help public / service sites, such as stores and the post office in Parham, to become accessible. (E.g., make portable ramps)
