This will be the first in a series of planned town halls. The goal of this event is to center the concerns of persons with disabilities, and gather information on steps that can be taken to improve accessibility in our city. Virtual town hall to take place at a later date. After each town hall, a report that details the discussion and commentary will be created by the Saint John Ability Advisory Committee. This will be for the purpose of identifying actionable items and steps forward.
