RE: Awareness Presentation of Town of Essex Accessibility Committee Initiatives

Lisa Wallace, Chair, Essex Accessibility Advisory Committee noted that last week the Town of Essex participated in the National Accessibility Week. Ms. Wallace provided information on this year's theme of "Disability Inclusion 2021 Leaving No One Behind."

Ms. Wallace stated that when barriers are removed Canadians with disabilities can participate fully in society and workplaces which helps our community thrive and our society prosper so all Canadians benefit. The Essex Accessibility Advisory Committee is committed to securing grants and funding opportunities to promote inclusion and accessibility while raising awareness of disability issues and creating a culture of inclusion.

Ms. Wallace explained that affordable housing is a common term we use to describe a specific housing option but what is missing is accessible and supportive. Supportive housing is a blend of supports that enable people to live as independently as possible in their community. Affordable, accessible and supportive housing increases capacity and keeps people in our community. Ms. Wallace noted that living in the community is much safer and less expensive than living in a long-term care home. It places the value and importance of everyone being welcomed in the Town of Essex

RE: Former Harrow High School

Peter Thyrring, Headmaster, St. Peter's ACHS College School, described the accomplishments of St. Peter's ACHS College School. Mr. Thyrring stated that the school is in immediate need of a new location with their new school year expected to start in August 2021. Mr. Thyrring then asked for consideration and support for his school to become a tenant at the former Harrow High School property. Council advised that while they would welcome the opportunity for the St. Peters school to move to Essex, the Town does not currently own the Harrow High school property and even if it were to acquire the property in the near future there is no way it would be able to accommodate a tenant in that building on such short notice. Council then advised  Mr. Thyrring  that the Town’s Economic development Officer could contact him to advise of any other short notice opportunities to lease in the Town of Essex.
