In accordance with the Accessible British Columbia Act, School District 8 (Kootenay Lake) has formed an Accessibility Advisory Committee, effective October 2023 and throughout the 2023-24 school year. The role of the committee will be to advise the school district in its development of an accessibility plan that includes identifying, preventing, and removing barriers to accessibility that people with disabilities face within the school district.
At School District 8 (Kootenay Lake), we want to learn about specific accessibility barriers that people face when they're trying to:
- Access a school program, building, or school information
- Receive a service or support.
Your responses to the questions below will be reviewed by the School District 8 Accessibility Advisory Committee for their consideration. This information can be submitted anonymously, or you can provide your contact details at the bottom of the form if you wish to be contacted.
