Huron County Accessibility Advisory Committee seeks new members

The County of Huron is inviting applications for a volunteer position on the Huron County Accessibility Advisory Committee (HCAAC).

HCAAC is made up of nine voting members, the majority of whom have direct or indirect lived experience of disability. The committee also includes members from relevant professions, an elected official and the Huron County Warden.

“This is an opportunity to making a meaningful impact on accessibility in Huron County,” said Sahil Kaushal, IDEA Specialist for the County of Huron.

The HCAAC advises Huron County Council and partner municipalities on how to identify, prevent and remove barriers for people with disabilities.

While helping to create an inclusive and accessible environment for all residents and visitors, the work done by the HCAAC supports compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

“We encourage applications from individuals with diverse perspectives and experiences who are passionate about building a more accessible community,” added Kaushal.

The County is seeking one new community member to join the HCAAC. Meetings are offered in a hybrid format, both in-person and virtual options available.

Interested applicants are asked to submit a resume and a letter of interest outlining their background, experience with accessibility and motivation for joining the HCAAC.

Applications can be sent by email to: clerk@huroncounty.ca with a subject line HCAAC Membership Application. The deadline is November 3.
