Advisory Committee on Accessibility

Working closely with members of City Administration, we are a City Council committee consisting of citizens with disabilities and a keen interest in access issues.

We make recommendations to City Council on policy and systems issues and barriers impacting people with disabilities in Calgary.

See the ACA’s official description, a list of current members, our terms of reference and The City of Calgary’s Corporate Accessibility Policy.

Our role is to advise and recommend solutions to City Council on accessibility and disability. We work together with citizens, the community and The City of Calgary on accessibility and disability matters by:

• Identifying emerging issues related to accessibility in Calgary.
• In coordination with the Access Design Subcommittee, serving as subject matter experts available for consultation with City administration.
• Serving as ambassadors in the community for the Advisory Committee on Accessibility regarding a range of accessibility issues, as needed.
• Reporting annually to City Council in consultation with City administration as needed.
• Providing advice on City of Calgary projects, including infrastructure and operations, as requested.
