Advancing Accessibility
In June 2021, the provincial government passed the Accessible B.C. Act. Its goal is to support identification, prevention and removal of barriers that people with disabilities face in their day-to-day lives. Public sector organizations – including school districts – are required to establish an Accessibility Committee, create an Accessibility Plan, gather feedback about that plan and about accessibility challenges in general.
We are committed to being accessible to students, families, staff and members of the broader communities. We are dedicated to continually improve accessibility and remove barriers to provide greater equity and inclusion for everyone.
VSB’s Accessibility Advisory Committee and the Accessibility Working Group use information gathered in the 2024 VSB Accessibility Survey to inform VSB’s Accessibility Plan, read the results below.
Report a Barrier
Help us identify and understand barriers members of the community may face when accessing VSB services and facilities. Please email accessibility@vsb.bc.ca with the following information:
- What you were trying to access
- Where the barrier happened and what the barrier was
- Any recommendations you might have
Thank you in advance for sharing your feedback. It will be reviewed and considered by the Accessibility Committee.
Our Accessibility Plan is always evolving. Learn more on how we’re making OurVSB more accessible.
