Description of Bluewater District School Board
Bluewater District School Board provides public education to families in Bruce and Grey Counties in southwestern Ontario. The two counties of Grey and Bruce cover an area of 8,673 square kilometers. As of March 31, the District had 11 123.13 FTE students in 42 elementary schools and 7 121 FTE students in 11 secondary schools. The District is organized into five administrative areas.
Purpose of Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005
Recognizing the history of discrimination against persons with disabilities in Ontario, the purpose of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) is to benefit all Ontarians by,
- developing, implementing and enforcing accessibility standards in order to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities, accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises on or before January 1, 2025; and
- providing for the involvement of persons with disabilities, of the Government of Ontario and of representatives of industries and of various sectors of the economy in the development of the accessibility standards
- taken from Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005-
Definition of Disability
The AODA defines a disability as meaning,
- any degree of physical disability, infirmity, malformation or disfigurement that is caused by bodily injury, birth defect or illness and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, includes diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, a brain injury, any degree of paralysis, amputation, lack of physical co-ordination, blindness or visual impediment, deafness or hearing impediment, muteness or speech impediment, or physical reliance on a guide dog or other animal, or on a wheelchair or other remedial appliance or device;
- A condition of mental impairment or a developmental disability;
- A learning disability, or a dysfunction in one or more of the processes involved in understanding or using symbols or spoken language;
- A mental disorder; or
- An injury or disability for which benefits were claimed or received under the insurance plan established under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997.
Definition of Barrier
The AODA defines a barrier as meaning anything that prevents a person with a disability from fully participating in all aspects of society because of his or her disability including: a physical barrier, an architectural barrier, an informational or communications barrier, an attitudinal barrier, a technological barrier, or a policy or a practice.
To this end, the AODA requires each school Board to prepare an Annual Accessibility Plan, to consult with people with disabilities in the preparation of this plan, and to make the plan public.
Executive Summary
This is the fifth Annual Accessibility Plan (2008-09) prepared by the Accessibility Working Group of the Bluewater District School Board. This Annual Accessibility Plan is in compliance with the Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2001) and is consistent with the belief statements out lined in Foundations for Learning. It serves as a resource for addressing accessibility issues for the students, staff and members of the community.
Bluewater District School Board is committed to:
- maintaining an Accessibility Working Group, which will meet regularly to review and update the Accessibility Plan;
- consulting with people with disabilities, as well as people working with the disabled in the development and review of its Annual Accessibility Plan;
- ensuring that the Annual Accessibility Plan is in compliance with the legislation; and,
- Identifying issues and improving access to facilities, policies, programs, practices and services for staff, students, parents/guardians, volunteers and members of the community.
This plan:
- describes the measures that the Board has taken this year to identify, remove and prevent barriers for people with disabilities;
- lists barriers that have been identified;
- describes the initiatives and interventions the Bluewater District School Board will take in the coming year to identify, remove and prevent barriers for people with disabilities;
- describes how the Bluewater District School Board will make this Annual Accessibility Plan available to the public.
Historical Perspective
The Bluewater Accessibility Working Group was formally constituted in September 2004.
In order to identify barriers for staff and students, this group consulted with school administrators, employee groups, the Special Education Advisory Committee, community organizations, individuals with disabilities and those who work with individuals with disabilities.
Additionally, the group reviewed the recommendation made by The Ontario March of Dimes in physical barrier audit that was completed for all of the Board’s schools in 2003.

Prevention and Removal of Physical and Architectural Barriers
Identified Barrier |
Action Taken in 2008/09 |
On-going Intervention *barrier free accessibility to be provided to all new board buildings as per the current edition of the Ontario Building Code |
The front doors of some schools are very heavy and may be difficult to open for a wheelchair user or someone with limited strength.
|
As doors have been updated this year, upgrades to address this issue have occurred
|
As renovations occur in schools, the Plant Department will continue to consider and plan to address this issue. Doors are adjustable so if issue is brought to the attention of the administrator it could be addressed quickly. If there is a specific need for a student to have a door opener, this request can be made via the administrator at the school. |
Benches in the front lobbies/hallways of buildings obstruct the paths of people who are blind and visually impaired.
|
Survey was sent to head custodians about this issue. There were only five issues reported. |
This issue will be addressed as part of regularly scheduled Health and Safety inspections on board properties. |
Reception counters at some schools are not at eye level for wheelchair users or younger people. |
|
As renovations to office areas are initiated, the Plant Department staff will continue consider and plan to address this issue with a step-down area. |
Some washrooms in schools are not easily accessible to individuals with physical disabilities/or persons using a lift |
|
As renovations occur in schools, the Plant Department will continue to consider and plan to address this issue |
Visually impaired individuals have difficulty orienting in buildings and using some stairs |
|
When stairs are installed, a non-slip stair of contrasting colour is used. |
Fire Alerts for hard of hearing students need to be installed |
A majority of fire alarms have been updated to include light and sound indicators |
As any other fire alarms are updated, this issue will be considered |
Playground designs need to consider the needs of physically challenged and visually impaired students |
|
CSA standards will be used when planning and designing playgrounds. Schools must consult with Health and Safety. School administration and SCC may need additional training. |
Commonly accessed rooms such as the office, library and resource rooms need to be located in accessible areas in schools |
|
When public meetings are scheduled, there should be consideration given to access. |
Access to elevator keys needs to be simplified in schools |
|
Issue needs to be addressed at a district level to ensure consistency in all schools. |
Elevator size needs to be able to accommodate physically challenged persons |
|
Needs to be considered in future builds. |
Signage at school and the board office needs to be standardize to address needs of individuals with disabilities |
Signage on the exterior of the building has been standardized ie parking, fire access, stopping signs |
Standards need to be developed for interior signage. |
Ramps with railings need to be located at the main entrance of each school |
|
New ramps will be compliant with technical specifications outlined in the Ontario Building Code |
In 2008/09, upgrades and work were completed in schools to address individual needs of students in order to remove physical and architectural barriers. These needs are identified in on-going meetings that take place between Student Services staff and Plant Department staff. Student Services staff gather this information from students, parents, staff, administration, and a variety of professional individuals and agency staff who provide support in our schools. A complete list of upgrades is available upon request. Click here to make a request.
On-Going Initiatives and Future Plans
- The Accessibility Working Group will serve as the system contact from schools that identify accessibility issues for students, staff and community members.
- As a prevention mechanism, the plant department staff will continue to incorporate barrier-free modifications in new construction.
- Current information pertaining to physical and architectural barriers needs to be gathered on a regular basis. In the Customer Service Standards as part of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005), a feedback process is being developed by January 2010.
Prevention and Removal of Information, Communication, and Technology Barriers
Identified Barrier |
Action Taken in 2008/09 |
On-going Intervention |
Forms, records and information are only available in print
|
All board forms, policies and procedures are available electronically on the board website.
|
Forms, policies and procedures will be continually updated electronically to ensure there is access to current information. |
Board website information is not compatible with screen readers |
A majority of screen readers now work with the board website. If there are challenges, the board website can be easily converted to text only and used with any screen reader. |
|
Student information and brochures are sometimes difficult to procure in alternative formats |
|
The Bluewater Board is committed to ensuring that information is accessible to all individuals. Alternative formats are available on request. |
Information about accessibility is not easy to find on the board website |
The accessibility plan is linked on the board website via Student Services. |
A working committee will be reviewing the placement of information on accessibility on the board website as part of the implementation of the Customer Service Standards in 2009/10. |
Need a consistent procedure to communicate identified barriers |
|
A working committee will be looking at communication procedures as part of the implementation of the Customer Service Standards in 2009/10. |
