Accessibility

A barrier is anything that keeps someone with a disability from participating in our community! Accessibility is the ability to access and everyone has that right!

Greater Napanee's Commitment to Accessibility
We are dedicated to meeting the needs of people with disabilities and to creating a welcoming environment so that all people may have equitable access to Town programs, goods, services and facilities. We are committed to meeting accessibility needs for people in a timely manner and in a way that respects one's dignity and independence.
Accessibility Act
