Report to Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee
From: Emily Waldick, Human Resources Manager
Date: February 24, 2026
Subject: Joint Annual Accessibility Status Report 2025
Recommendation(s):
THAT the report titled "Joint Annual Accessibility Status Report 2025" dated February
24, 2026 be received and filed; and,
THAT the report titled "Joint Annual Accessibility Status Report 2025" be approved.
Introduction:
Elgin County and its Local Municipal Partners (LMPs) are required to collaboratively
prepare an annual accessibility status report on the progress of measures taken to
implement the goals outlined in the Joint Multi -Year Accessibility Plan. Additionally, the
status report must be posted on the County and LMPs websites for the public, per the
Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) requirements.
Background and Discussion:
The County and its LMPs created a Joint Multi -Year Accessibility Plan spanning 2021-
2026. As a result of the plan becoming a joint effort between the County and its Local
Municipal Partners, the status reports will also be done jointly. Over the 5-year period,
on an annual basis, the County and its LMPs are required to provide an update to
County Council as well as LMPs Councils on the progress made towards obtaining the
goals outlined in the Joint Multi -Year Accessibility Plan. The attached report outlines the
measures taken to ensure compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with
Disabilities Act (AODA) and IASR. It details the initiatives undertaken by the County and
LMPs in 2021 to identify, remove and prevent barriers.
In 2025, the County of Elgin and its partner municipalities made significant progress in
advancing accessibility, inclusion, and AODA compliance. Key accomplishments
included accessibility audits and compliance reporting, policy updates, enhanced staff
training, accessible infrastructure upgrades (sidewalks, washrooms, signage, lighting,
playgrounds, and public spaces), expanded library and digital accessibility services,
inclusive programming, and improved community engagement opportunities.
Page 6of32
Collectively, these efforts strengthened physical accessibility, digital access, inclusive
service delivery, and community participation across the region.
Financial Implications:
No financial implications.
Advancement of Strategic Plan:
Local Municipal Partner Impact:
As the status reports will now be done collaboratively between Elgin County and its
LMPs, it should reduce the amount of time that the Local Municipal Partners spend
fulfilling this requirement. Since the previous model required each LMP to complete this
requirement independently, making it a joint effort allows LMPs to send information to
the County HR Manager, who is responsible for drafting the joint status reports from
2021 and on
Communication Requirements:
The Joint Annual Accessibility Status Report for 2025 is required to be communicated
and collaborated on with Elgin County and its Local Municipal Partners. The report was
taken to the Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee for approval and feedback before
taking it to County Council. Upon approval by County Council, the report will go to all
the Local Municipal Councils to be received for information and posted online. The
report must be made available to the public via the County and LMPs websites.
Conclusion:
As outlined in the attached Joint Annual Accessibility Status Report, the County of Elgin
and its Local Municipal Partners will continue to identify, remove and prevent barriers to
people with disabilities. These efforts are communicated to County Council and LMP
Councils through the Joint Multi -Year Accessibility Plan and affiliated status reports.
All of which is Respectfully Submitted

Status Report 2025
A summary of Elgin County and its Local Municipal Partners accomplishments towards
inclusion and accessibility in 2025
Page 8of32
Elgin County and Local Municipal Partners
Joint Annual Accessibility Status Report 2025
Objectives and Purpose
This is the County of Elgin and its Local Municipal Partners (LMPs) Annual Accessibility
Status Report update. In 2015, Elgin County released its second Multi -Year
Accessibility Plan, in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act
(AODA) and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (Ontario Regulation
191/11). The plan outlined the County's strategy to prevent and remove barriers to
accessibility, which includes how to meet requirements under the AODA.
In 2021, the County released its first Joint Multi -Year Accessibility Plan (MYAP), which
includes the County of Elgin and its seven Local Municipal Partners' accessibility
progress, goals and timelines for the next five years. As a result of the MYAP becoming
a joint effort, it allowed the Annual Accessibility Status Reports to become streamlined
and collaborative rather than requiring each LMP to create their own.
This Status Report includes the accessibility initiatives that were completed in 2025 to
implement the strategy outlined in the Joint Multi -Year Accessibility Plan.
The purpose of this Status Report is to make the public aware of Elgin County and its
LMPs' progress with accessibility implementation and to prevent and remove barriers
and meet requirements under the AODA and IASR.
Compliance Reporting
Elgin County filed their seventh Accessibility Compliance Report in 2025. For the 2025
report, Elgin County was able to claim compliance and continues to work on maintaining
web compliance and document accessibility.
Commitment Statement
The County of Elgin and its LMP's statement of commitment establishes the vision and
goals for the Municipalities to meet the legislated accessibility requirements. The
statement of commitment is publicly available on the County website, accessibility policy
and Joint MYAP.
The County of Elgin and its LMPs are committed to identifying, eliminating and
preventing barriers and improving accessibility for people with disabilities in a manner
that respects dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity.
The County of Elgin and its LMPs recognize the diverse needs of all of our residents
and customers and will respond by striving to provide goods, services and facilities that
are accessible to all.
Page 9of32
The County of Elgin and its LMPs are committed to being responsive to the needs of all
of our residents and employees. In order to meet the needs of people with disabilities
the Municipalities will:
• Ensure policies address dignity, independence, integration and
provide for equal opportunity for people with disabilities
• Allow people with disabilities to use their own personal devices to
obtain, use or benefit from the services offered by the County and
LMPs
• Accommodate the accessibility needs of people with disabilities to
ensure they can obtain, use, or benefit from the County and LMPs
goods, services, programs and facilities
• Communicate with people with disabilities in a manner that is
considerate of the person's disability
The County of Elgin and its LMPs will promote accessibility by ensuring that compliance
is met for all regulations made under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act,
2005. In order to ensure that timelines are met, The County and its LMPs will establish,
implement and maintain a Joint Multi -Year Accessibility Plan. The plan will outline the
County and its LMPs strategy to prevent and remove barriers to people with disabilities.
The plan will be updated on an ongoing basis, as needed, to ensure it remains current
and aligns with the IASR.
Continuous Achievements in Accessibility
• The County of Elgin and its LMPs focus on removing barriers
which may exist in our buildings and facilities, while ensuring
that new buildings, leases, and renovations do not create any
new barriers

Report to Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee
From: Andrew Parker, Manager of Roads and Asset Management
Date: February 24, 2026
Subject: Fingal Reconstruction Project
Recommendation(s):
THAT feedback from the Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee regarding the Fingal
Reconstruction Project be sent to the Elgin County Engineering Services Department.
Introduction:
In conjunction with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, the Joint
Accessibility Advisory Committee (JAAC) shall provide advice to participating municipal
councils in relation to accessibility planning and legislated standards. One of the
legislated duties of the JAAC is to advise participating municipalities on the accessibility
of buildings, structures or premises that the municipalities lease, purchase, construct or
significantly renovate. This report seeks feedback from the JAAC on accessibility
enhancements for the Village of Fingal Reconstruction project.
Background and Discussion:
The Village of Fingal Reconstruction project represents a $19M investment between the
Township of Southwold and the County of Elgin. The project will see the complete
reconstruction of Millpark Street, Fowler Street, Fingal Line and Union Road within the
settlement limits of the Village of Fingal. Scope will include:
• Sanitary servicing for current residents and future development
• Updated stormwater capacity and treatment to mitigate future flooding
• Localized watermain replacement
• Localized gas main and servicing replacement completed by Enbridge
• Localized hydro pole relocation and replacement completed by Hydro One
• New road structure complete with roadside amenities
All reconstructed roads will be reconstructed to an "urban" standard — urban roads are
complete with catchbasins, curb, sidewalks and roadside amenities common in villages
Page 17 of 32
and urban areas. A typical cross-section of Union Road is shown below with sanitary
servicing in red, stormwater in green and the roadway profile shown in black.

UNION! ROAD - STATION 1+140
From an accessibility standpoint, several enhancements will be present at the
completion of the project. For some jurisdictional clarity, the County of Elgin is
responsible for Union Road and Fingal Line including the signalized intersections and
pedestrian crossings (PXO's) with the Township of Southwold responsible for all
sidewalks within the village.
Accessibility Enhancements with the Village of Fingal Reconstruction Project
• New, expanded, separated sidewalks from the travelled road
o Sidewalk located on both sides of the majority of Union Road and Fingal
Line and on one side of Fowler Street and Millpark Street
o Sidewalk where possible, will be separated from the roadway with a grass
or hardscaped boulevard for pedestrian comfort
o All roadway crossings will be complete with tactile plates compliant with
AODA
• Signalized intersection at Union Road and Fingal Line
o New fully signalized intersection complete with crosswalks and pedestrian
heads in all four directions complete with pedestrian pushbuttons
• New pedestrian crossovers (PXO's) at the north limit on Union Road to provide a
looped pedestrian facility and on Fingal Line at Millpark Street for direct access to
the Fingal Baseball Park from lands to the south
Page 18 of 32
• New streetlighting throughout town to conform to urban lighting standards while
maintaining dark sky compliance
• Narrowed travelled roadway to minimize crossing distances, slow prevailing
traffic and encourage adherence to posted speed limits
• Dedicated parking bays outside of the travelled roadway complete with line
painting, accessible parking and to act as pull -over locations for infrequent
oversized agricultural equipment movement
• Updated and clear signage throughout town to ensure the safe passage of
vehicles while improving pedestrian amenities and safety throughout the village
Overall, the completed project will be much more in line with community expectations
with respect to design and amenities. The design seeks to balance function for all users
instead of just those in a vehicle. County and Southwold engineering departments
thereby submitted the attached drawing package for review and comment. The project
has commenced and is expected to be substantially completed by December 2027.
Financial Implications:
None.
Advancement of Strategic Plan:
This initiative fulfills a legislative requirement and demonstrates the County's
commitment to accountability and good governance by ensuring compliance with
applicable legislation and provincial standards.
Local Municipal Partner Impact:
Feedback from the JAAC on the Village of Fingal Reconstruction Project that is relevant
to the AODA compliance aspects that are under the jurisdiction of the Township of
Southwold will be communicated to the Township of Southwold.
Communication Requirements:
None.
Conclusion:
The JAAC is being consulted on the accessibility enhancements of the Fingal Village
Reconstruction Projection in compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with
Disabilities Act. This feedback will be shared with the Engineering Services Department
of the County of Elgin and, where relevant, the Township of Southwold.
