This spring, the Municipality will be replacing the play structure in South Gower Park with a more accessible structure. The Department of Parks, Recreation and Culture has released a short survey to learn about the barriers faced by residents to help guide the design process. The survey is available online at www.northgrenville.ca and paper copies are available at the North Grenville Municipal Office and the North Grenville Public Library. All surveys must be submitted by March 17, 2017.
Once proposals have been received from suppliers and reviewed, the recommended design will be reviewed by the North Grenville Accessibility Advisory Committee for feedback. The public will also be invited to attend the meeting to provide input regarding the accessibility of the proposed play structure. Under Ontario’s Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation, municipalities are required to consult with members of the public regarding the design of the new structure.
