Douglas College has a long history of promoting accessibility. This Accessibility Plan, 2023 – 2026 is the first high-level iteration of the College’s efforts to date – taking stock of the many accessibility initiatives and supports already in place – and a catalogue of barriers that persist. The Plan aims to establish the baseline for a renewed commitment on our journey to improve accessibility to our campuses, programs and services; and second, to outline a roadmap for where this journey will take us – over the next three years and beyond.
This is a living, evolving Plan. As the Province publishes Standards for each of the eight operational domains governed by the Accessible BC Act, the clarity of focus on measures and initiatives will increase and the Accessibility Plan will be updated.
