Accessibility Plan 2026 to 2028

A graphic depicting people with disabilities.

The City of Kingston is committed to creating an inclusive environment for residents of all abilities. The Multi-Year Accessibility Plan is what the City of Kingston follows to prevent and remove barriers to accessibility and is required under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The plan builds on the City’s success of meeting the legislative requirements and vision of going above and beyond to make municipal services and facilities more accessible and inclusive.

The current plan ends in 2025, and we are asking for input as we write the update.

Keep in mind, the City of Kingston Multi-Year Accessibility Plan covers only City facilities, services, and public places. Private businesses, their physical layout, and services, are under the jurisdiction of the province under the AODA and the Ontario Building Code.

You can review the progress that has been made on the last plan. This will show what action was taken on previous goals.
