Mandate

The Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) is dedicated to providing strategic oversight and leadership to promote accessibility at Fleming College. It ensures a coordinated approach to identifying, removing, and preventing barriers for persons with disabilities, fostering a campus environment that prioritizes inclusivity and equal opportunities for all.

Purpose

The AAC is committed to:

• Setting priorities, making recommendations, and monitoring progress on the College’s efforts to comply and exceed the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and developing strategies to address the PSE Standards recommendations.
• Supporting Fleming by championing institutional measures with the aim of shifting culture and perspectives towards a more accessible and inclusive college environment.
• Alignment with Fleming College’s Strategic Direction and the Strategic Mandate Agreement – Being a welcoming place for all – equitable, diverse, and inclusive.

The AAC will assist in the development of the Multi-Year Accessibility Plan (MYAP) and the Annual Accessibility Status Reports. It will review and update any key College accessibility policies or procedures and assist to gather information required to submit the biennial accessibility reports to the Ontario government regarding the College’s compliance with the AODA.

The College is committed to having significant representation of AAC members be individuals who identify as being a person with a disability or have lived experience with disability.
