Feedback - A short survey
The Walker's/Capital Group of Companies is embarking on a process to build an effective and comprehensive accessibility plan to identify and reduce barriers to persons with disabilities in all aspects of our operations including employment, built environment, information and communication technology (ICT), communication other than ICT, design & delivery of services, transportation, and procurement of goods and services.
The Accessible Canada Act defines a disability as “any impairment, including a physical, mental, intellectual, cognitive, learning, communication or sensory impairment—or a functional limitation—whether permanent, temporary or episodic in nature, or evident or not, that, interaction with a barrier, hinders a person’s full and equal participation in society.”
As we develop, implement, and update our plan, we want to hear from a variety of stakeholders, including you, consumers considering and utilizing our services. Your input can help us develop the very best plan for our organization improving access for individuals at all levels of engagement with WCG. We sincerely thank you for your participation.
