As you may know, Access Awareness Week is a week to promote and celebrate people with disabilities for their leadership, voice, and impact. NAAW is about the struggles that people with disabilities face every day. Many people with disabilities have to advocate for themselves and others, some things the Municipality can do is support NAAW by pointing out the barriers, calling out non-inclusive activities, language, events, and more, ask for the stories that disabled people may want to share.

In partnership with the Province and the Enabling Accessibility Fund, The Municipality has received funding and is in the process of upgrading the RecPlex and Sherbrooke Library to be Accessible and barrier-free. Upgrading and/or replacing the existing doors, with the addition of automatic openers to enable easier access for all residents.
