A Move Closer to a More Accessible Essex

  • News

We now have an Accessible bathroom!!

The bathroom at the Kinsmen Field House in Ward 1 is now accessible! NO ONE ever should have to crawl to the bathroom or have any difficulty going to bathroom anywhere, let alone in a town owned building. The accessibility committee also vote to do a review in 2023 of ALL town owned facilities to ensure they are accessible and budget and plan for those that are not. Thank you Richard Kokovai for advocating and insisting on that!

Moved By Councillor Bondy

Seconded By Deputy Mayor Bjorkman

That Council use either grant money or funds from the Council Contingency Capital Project to construct/install an accessible bathroom at the Kinsmen field house in Ward 1.

Councillor Bondy requested a recorded vote.
