3. RICK HANSEN WHEELS IN MOTION CAMPAIGN
Quarry Lakes Golf will be involved at the Campaign with a mini putt challenge. A
round of golf will be donated as the prize. This will be a great promotion for the
Golf Course and also the donations will go to the Campaign.
4. CHANGE IN PARKING SIGN TERMINOLOGY
The Committee discussed and supported the recommendations of Regional
Council to instruct the Regional Solicitor to amend any applicable by-laws to read
‘accessible parking’ instead of ‘handicapped parking’ and to change
‘handicapped person’ to ‘person with a disability’. The Works Department will be
instructed to use the term ‘Accessible Parking’ when replacing existing parking
signs or erecting new ones, if using words in addition to a logo.
5. OTHER BUSINESS
David Kelly requested that an ad placed in the papers reminding the public that
vehicles with handicap parking passes can park at the meters at no cost.
Pat Rundle requested that the money that is raised through the Rick Hansen
Wheels in Motion Campaign be directed to the installation of the audible lights at
the corner of King Street and Liberty Street.
Moved by Councillor Foster, seconded by Tim Hick
THAT a donation in the amount of $250.00 be provided towards the purchase of
a picnic table in the memory of Evylin Stroud.
“CARRIED”
Councillor Foster suggested that we should set up a booth at the different events
that are held in the downtown core throughout the year. This would allow the
merchants to see just how many potential accessible customers could be in the
downtown core.
The Committee asked if it would be possible to have the Silver Street parking lot
designated for disabled parking at these events.
The Committee would like to see an in box on the Website for general inquiries.
6. DATE OF NEXT MEETING
The next regular meeting is scheduled to be held on September 8, 2005 at
