PICKERING: Multi-Year Accessibility Plan

PICKERING – PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

The City of Pickering is updating its Multi-Year Accessibility Plan and invites residents to help shape the next phase of accessibility improvements across municipal services, programs, and facilities.

The previous Multi-Year Accessibility Plan delivered significant upgrades across City facilities and public spaces, including accessible washrooms, improved reception and service counters, and enhanced pathways, sidewalks and parking areas. It also advanced accessible design in playgrounds, trails, and outdoor recreation areas, enriching the experiences and opportunities available within our spaces.

Approximately 27 percent of Pickering residents live with at least one disability, and accessibility needs are increasing as the population grows and ages. Community feedback will help the City understand what is working well, where barriers remain, and what actions should be prioritized over the next five years.
