How should municipalities make their plans public?
Municipalities may use a variety of methods for letting members of the public know about their plan, for example: posting the information on their website, putting a notice in their local newspaper, posting information on a bulletin board in their local library or at other community centres. If municipalities under 10,000 choose to post information on a plan seeking public input they should ensure that the disability community (individuals and organizations) are aware of the posting and have an opportunity to provide comment. It is also important, however, that others in the community have an opportunity to comment as well. [section 12(1)] Finally, any posting needs to be available in formats that are accessible to people with disabilities.
