Springwood and Foster Parks Funding for this initiative was administered by the Social Planning and Research Council of British Columbia (SPARC BC) and supported by the Province of BC. With $25,000 in funding assistance, accessibility upgrades were made to the washroom facilities at Springwood Park and Foster Park. By adding automatic door operators, replacing hardware, rebuilding frames, and constructing an accessible ramp, this project helps to ensure safe, independent access for all park users.
In 2021, the Province of British Columbia passed the Accessible BC Act. This legislation requires municipalities (and other prescribed organizations) to establish an accessibility committee, develop an accessibility plan, and create a process for receiving comments from the public on the plan and on barriers individuals face in or interacting with the organization. We are pleased to present the accessibility plan for the City of Parksville.
