The Town Niagara-on-the-Lake is a member of the Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee (JAAC), a partnership between seven communities in Niagara: Thorold, Pelham, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Lincoln, West Lincoln, Grimsby and Port Colborne. Together, with Council, we share a commitment to facilitate identification and removal of barriers to people with disabilities, promoting equal opportunities to our citizens of all abilities.

Feedback Process 

Feedback may be provided by a person with a disability in the manner deemed most convenient to them, such as in person, by telephone, in writing, or by delivering an electronic text by email or otherwise. The municipality will provide or arrange for accessible formats and communication supports, on request when requesting or receiving feedback from people with disabilities. Suitable formats will be provided in a timely matter and at a cost that is no greater than the regular cost.
