Islands Trust Accessibility Committee

Islands Trust is seeking residents that have the interest and ability to assist and advise the Islands Trust Council to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to individuals interacting with Islands Trust by joining the Accessibility Committee.

To meet the requirements of the Accessible British Columbia Act, we are looking for individuals who are preferably from the Islands Trust area that are:

• a minimum of one and up to four people from organizations that support people
  with disabilities, or who have disabilities, in the Islands Trust Area;
• a minimum of one person who is Indigenous; and
• a minimum of one and up to two people from the Islands Trust Area.

Disability includes a physical, mental, intellectual, learning, or sensory impairment - including an episodic disability that, in interaction with a barrier, hinders an individual’s full and effective participation in society.

Successful applicants will be appointed by the Islands Trust Council and may be expected to meet online at least four times per year. The term for each of these positions is to December 31, 2026. Terms of reference for the Accessibility Committee can be viewed here: https://islandstrust.bc.ca/document/policy-2-3-1-council-committee-system/.

Apply: Islands Trust will be accepting applications until 4:30 PM on September 16, 2024. Apply online here: https://islandstrust.bc.ca/about-us/governance/accessibility-committee/.
