Developing our New Accessibility Plan
Our Commitment
At the City of Saskatoon, accessibility is key to fairness and inclusion. We strive to ensure everyone can fully participate in our community, whether at work, play, or in daily life.
Our Accessibility Plan
We focus on the strengths of people with disabilities and their valuable contributions to our city. We also recognize and aim to remove barriers—physical, attitudinal, systemic, and communicative.
Our Approach
The City’s Reconciliation, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI) department leads this effort. We collaborate with residents facing accessibility barriers, as well as employees, experts, and advocates. Together, we address challenges such as:
- Physical Barriers: Improving infrastructure like ramps, elevators, and accessible pathways.
- Attitudinal Barriers: Challenging stigma and promoting inclusive mindsets.
- Systemic Barriers: Creating policies that promote fairness and inclusion.
- Communication Barriers: Ensuring information and services are accessible to all.
Get Involved
This work is ongoing, and everyone has a role to play. Your voice matters. Whether you are a resident, business owner, advocate, or visitor, we invite you to explore, engage, and share your insights. Together, we can build a Saskatoon where accessibility is the foundation of our success and inclusivity is our hallmark.
