RM of West St. Paul Accessibility Consultation Survey
What is an Accessibility Barrier? An accessibility barrier is anything that limits or prevents a person from receiving information, services and goods, or accessing a space, or participating in an activity. Barriers prevent individuals from doing many of the things other people take for granted. Barriers exist all around us and impact the lives of many individuals daily.
