The Lunenburg County Accessibility Advisory Committee is seeking volunteers who are passionate about helping create more accessible and inclusive communities.
The Committee is currently recruiting two members for three-year terms and one member for a two-year term. Residents of the Municipality of the District of Chester, Municipality of the District of Lunenburg, Town of Bridgewater, Town of Lunenburg, and Town of Mahone Bay are encouraged to apply.
Help Shape a More Accessible Future
The Accessibility Advisory Committee provides advice to municipal councils throughout Lunenburg County on accessibility-related matters, including programs, services, initiatives, and facilities.
Committee members play an important role in helping municipalities identify and remove barriers so that everyone can fully participate in community life. The Committee also supports municipal efforts to meet the goals of Nova Scotia's Accessibility Act and move toward barrier-free communities.
Who Should Apply?
We welcome applications from individuals with diverse lived experiences, skills, and perspectives.
At least half of the Committee's membership must be persons with disabilities or representatives of organizations that support people with disabilities.
Disability can include physical, mental, intellectual, learning, or sensory impairments, including episodic disabilities, that may affect a person's full and effective participation in society when barriers are present.
Whether you have lived experience, professional expertise, volunteer experience, or a strong interest in accessibility and inclusion, your voice can help shape meaningful change across Lunenburg County.
How to Apply
Applications may be submitted online or by paper application. Apply by MicroSoft Form.
Alternative application formats are available upon request.
