Huron County, Ontario –The County of Huron is inviting applications for a volunteer position on the Huron County Accessibility Advisory Committee (HCAAC).

The committee advises Huron County Council and partner municipalities on how to identify, prevent and remove barriers for people with disabilities. Its work supports compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), while helping to create an inclusive and accessible environment for all residents and visitors.

HCAAC is made up of nine voting members, the majority of whom have direct or indirect lived experience of disability. The committee also includes members from relevant professions, an elected official, and the Huron County Warden.

The County is currently seeking one new community member to join the committee. Members may also participate in subcommittees focused on regulation review, site and plan reviews, and accessibility education. Meetings are offered in a hybrid format, with both in-person and virtual options available.
