Councillor Jenny Gerbasi states “The City of Winnipeg is happy to recognize the efforts and achievements in the area of accessible design. Business, government and organizations have included the community in their decision making and have taken many positive steps in making their facilities usable by all citizens and visitors in Winnipeg. They are very positive role models for others.”

The organizing and selection committee was led by the Access Advisory Committee of the City of Winnipeg in cooperation with the Canadian Paraplegic Association, the Manitoba Human Rights Commission, Planning, Property and Development Department of the City of Winnipeg, Winnipeg Handi-Transit and Reaching E-Quality Employment Services. The Winnipeg Free Press was a sponsor for this event.

A reception will follow the presentation in the Mayor’s foyer, 510 Main, second floor. There will be a photo display of the nominated features.
