(Continued from page 1) the TD Bank, the Foundation was able to secure a donation of the property in order to redevelop the area into a village square. The intention is to expand the park and open up sightlines to the Station on the Green community centre. After thorough public consultation, a vision was developed for a programmable space that could be used for performances, and gatherings. Lazier said the new design will create a greenspace that can be accessed by weddings using the Station. In addition to stage-front seating, there will be wooden seating platforms build around the trees. The Foundation is in the process of securing all the necessary permits for work to get underway this summer. In the meantime site preparation work can go ahead.

Acknowledging National Access Awareness Week May 31 – June 6 During the Coronavirus pandemic, Clearview Township would like to acknowledge National Access Awareness Week (NAAW) from May 31 to June 6, 2020.
Each year, during National Access Awareness Week, Canadians are encouraged to think about the barriers people with disabilities face, and to find ways to help remove them. During a global pandemic, barriers can often be increased, but in other ways this pandemic may open the door for creative ways to make the world more accessible for people with disabilities.
2020 marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA). During this time, public, private and non-profit organizations across Ontario have been working together to improve the everyday lives of people with disabilities. HISTORY OF NATIONAL ACCESSIBILITY AWARENESS WEEK: • Ontario became the first jurisdiction in Canada to legislate a framework and timeline for making Ontario accessible. The goal of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is to make Ontario fully accessible by 2025. • National Access Awareness Week was established in 1987 following Rick Hanson’s 40,000 km Man in Motion World Tour. “As part of the legacy of the Man in Motion World Tour, the Rick Hansen Foundation provided strategic leadership to create and implement National Access Awareness Week (NAAW) in partnership with federal and provincial governments across the country. The purpose of the program was to promote better community access for people with disabilities.” - Rick Hansen Foundation. It’s important for us to realize what accessibility means to our province – socially and economically. If people with disabilities cannot fully participate in our communities, we are missing out on our own potential. Accessibility is also about making everyone in our communities feel welcome. And don’t forget our seniors. Through the natural aging process, they may begin to experience barriers to everyday living that they once took for granted.
CLEARVIEW TOWNSHIP IS AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY! In Clearview Township, National Access Awareness Week is an opportunity to highlight accessibility awareness at the local level and an opportunity to acknowledge the work that is being done across the Township to improve accessibility.
CELEBRATING IN CLEARVIEW! Some of the accomplished improvements made in Clearview are: • Traffic lights in Stayner enhanced for the visually impaired • Access to a Mobi-Lift purchased by neighbouring community • Accessible doors at the Stayner Arena • Portable Hearing Loop purchased and available to enhance hearing abilities
ON-GOING ACCOMPLISHMENTS! Clearview Township has a successful Accessibility Advisory Committee that meets monthly with open sessions that anyone can attend. The schedule of upcoming meetings as well as previous agenda and meeting minutes can be viewed at www.clearview.ca/accessibility-advisory-committee.
Please visit our web site to register at www.clearview.ca for the Emergency Vulnerable Occupancy Registry should you require accessibility assistance during an emergency.
If any member of the community has any comments, questions or concerns regarding accessibility matters in Clearview, they are welcome to contact any Accessibility Advisory Committee member or share their comments/questions/feedback by telephone, in writing or by email. All contact information can be found at: www.clearview.ca/accessibility-advisory-committee
