The Districts of Sparwood, Elkford and City of Fernie have collaborated to form a Regional Accessibility Committee (the “Committee”), with the purpose of helping to identify and remove physical and social barriers within our organizations and communities. The Committee will work together with staff and elected leaders to develop accessibility plans, provide a forum for discussion of accessibility-related issues and to raise awareness about accessibility in each community. If you are interested in helping to improve accessibility in your community, as well as the region, we would love your help and insights.
The Committee currently has one (1) seat to be filled with a volunteer from Sparwood. Under Provincial legislation, to the extent possible, at least half of the Committee will include members from the community at large who are persons with disabilities, or individuals who support, or are from organizations that support, persons with disabilities and Indigenous persons.
The volunteer application form, is available in print at the Municipal Office, or online at the link below.
Volunteer Application Deadline: Open until filled
Applications will be accepted at the District of Sparwood Office in person, by mail or by email:
