Three Oshawa organizations receive new funding for accessibility projects through Enabling Accessibility Fund

 

OSHAWA, April 12, 2012 – Today, funding was announced for three projects in Oshawa under the federal Enabling Accessibility Program. Dr. Colin Carrie, Member of Parliament for Oshawa and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health, spoke out on this announcement.

 

“It is vitally important that people with disabilities are given the opportunity to use their talent and skills like everyone else,” said Colin Carrie. “This funding will have a great impact on people in Oshawa who have disabilities, and will allow them to take part in many activities that many of us take for granted.”

 

The Enabling Accessibility Fund, a Federal initiative, improves accessibility, removes barriers, and enables Canadians with disabilities to participate in and contribute to their communities. Three projects in Oshawa were granted funding:

 

   ■ Durham Region Canadian Mental Health Association received $15,565 to construct an exterior ramp, install automated door openers, raise the sinks and counters, and install grab bars in the accessibility washrooms;


   ■ Corporation of the City of Oshawa received $31,256. The funding for this program consists of acquiring accessible communication technological devices such as 13 UiDuo machines, 13 Optelec Compact Video Magnifiers, and three JAWS and ZoomTExt software packages; and


   ■ Woodview Park received $42,212 to install accessible playground equipment.


“I am pleased that these projects were approved,” stated Colin Carrie. “This funding will help make Oshawa more accessible to those with disabilities.”
