Plans and reports
Transforming Peterborough to be a place where every person can participate is important for people, businesses and community life. The 2018 to 2022 Accessibility Plan focuses on strategies and actions to ensure that all new and updated policies, strategic plans, programs, services and facilities fully incorporate an accessibility lens to make Peterborough more accessible and welcoming for everyone.
The City is developing a new five-year road map to help make Peterborough more accessible and welcoming for everyone. The plan will outline priorities to identify, remove and prevent barriers, so everyone can participate in the community. Learn more about the Accessibility Plan update project on the City's online public engagement platform, Connect Peterborough.
