Accessibility

Town Hall

The Town of Kingsville is committed to providing our services, programs, and access to buildings free of barriers. The Town's Accessibility Advisory Committee gives advice to Council on accessibility matters.

One of the goals of the Strategic Plan is to make the Town a more accessible community. The Town is looking for your feedback to assess the accessiblity needs of the community and its visitors. Your participation in the survey is important. It will assist the Town to understand the range of needs in the community so it can better identify and remove barriers to accessibility. Please take a minute to complete the short survey. The survey will be available until August 31, 2018.
