Actions Moving Forward

We are converting our Accessibility Plan to a living document format because we believe being able to adapt to changes will be especially important for the next three years. We know that the Province of Nova Scotia plans to announce the 6 standards over the next few years. We will need the flexibility to adapt to both the Provincial standards and to our available resources.

Rather than only having required actions, we are proposing that, over the next 3 years, each department/unit will name at least one action and determine how they can support that goal over the next year and half. The Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC), the Accessibility Lead, and pillar leads will support each department through the process. 

As part of the process, each department/unit will:

• Set up a meeting with the Accessibility Lead to discuss:
  • Provincial recommendations, Accessibility Acts, First Person experiences navigating barriers to our campus community.
  • Current environment
  • Department/units goals
• Name their action based on collaboration with the support of the Accessibility Lead and the AAC, as appropriate, including:
  • Naming their milestones and identifying their indicators for evaluating.
  • Estimating how long they believe they will need to meet their milestones.
  • Naming what resources/information they need to support their goal.
  • Naming who will be responsible for updating progress for evaluation.
