An Accessible City

A safer and more welcoming place for everyone

The measure of an inclusive city is how safe and welcomed every resident feels - and we know that we can make Victoria a more welcoming city.

RAMP UP ACCESSIBILITY EFFORTS

We support the Accessibility Working Group - we need to listen to people facing accessibility issues to guide us in redesigning our infrastructure with everyone in mind. The city has made lots of mistakes in designing infrastructure and services without accessibility in mind, and we need to make fixing those issues a priority. Moving forward, we would like to bring in higher standards for accessibility in new projects, and explore incentives for owners of older buildings to make renovations (e.g. railings, ramps and elevators) that improve accessibility and allow seniors to age in place.

Together Victoria would like to acknowledge that we are organizing on the homeland of the Lekwungen peoples, now known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.

We recognize that Turtle Island, now known as Canada and including the City of Victoria, was established through displacement and colonial violence. All levels of government, including municipal governments, have and continue to contribute to the colonization.
