 We are
constantly exploring ways to improve accessibility within
our Health Sciences Centre for people with disabilities. Our
Accessibility Advisory Team works actively during the year
through meetings and internal audits to prepare our annual
Accessibility
Plan. The Plan evaluates the past year’s accomplishments
as well as outlines the course of action for the upcoming
year. Our Team utilizes both provincial standards and your
comments, concerns and ideas to help shape the annual plan.
We invite you to review the Accessibility Plan and welcome
any feedback you may have on how we might improve our accessibility.
As part of this plan the opinions of staff, community partners
and the public we serve are important. Click here to access
the online TBRHSC
Accessibility Survey.
