Call for Volunteers (1 Vacancy)

Are you looking for a volunteer opportunity to make a difference in your community?

The Lunenburg County Accessibility Advisory Committee is looking for a member for a three-year term. You can apply if you live in the Municipality of the District of Chester, Municipality of the District of Lunenburg, Town of Bridgewater, Town of Lunenburg, or Town of Mahone Bay.

The Lunenburg County Accessibility Advisory Committee gives advice about accessibility to the Municipal Councils in Lunenburg County. For example, they might give advice about programs, services, initiatives, and facilities. The committee plays a pivotal role in helping the municipalities to become barrier-free communities that comply with Nova Scotia’s Accessibility Act (2017).

At least one half of the members of the advisory committee must have a disability or represent an organization that represents people with disabilities.

We know that "disability" can mean many different things. when we use the word "disability" it includes a physical, mental, intellectual, learning, or sensory impairment—including an episodic disability—that, in interaction with a barrier, hinders an individual’s full and effective participation in society.
