Town of Ladysmith extends public engagement period for inaugural Accessibility Plan 

Public input for the Town of Ladysmith’s first draft Accessibility Plan has been extended, and the town says it’s to ensure all residents have a voice.  

According to Communications and Engagement Specialist Nicholas Pescod, the plan is a living document that will continue to grow as the town engages with the community and adapts to emerging needs. 

“Its scope focuses on town-owned properties, public spaces, and facilities with the goal of identifying, removing, and preventing barriers so all residents and visitors can fully participate in community life,” says Pescod.  

Residents are being encouraged to share their feedback directly on the Town of Ladysmith’s website, and will be reviewed by a committee. 

The deadline for the input period is Oct. 29.
