My motion for online voting being added to the alternate voting methods for the 2026 election passed! Thanks so much for the robust conversation fellow council members & delegates. I appreciate all of your viewpoints. This is an accessibility win. Special thanks to @Squarest_Root

Donation request:
We're in urgent need of a shower transfer bench with an arm, similar to the one pictured below. Padded seats would be preferable to hard plastic.

ALT A grey shower transfer bench with padded seats and back. One side of the bench is equipped with an arm and suctioned feet for safety and stability.

Seeking a pair of elbow crutches!
A community member has reached out looking for a standard-sized pair of elbow crutches (aka forearm crutches, arm crutches, or lofstrand crutches). Please reach out if you have a pair to donate!

The Guelph Access Library is urgently seeking a donation of a manual wheelchair with a higher weight capacity! We only have one manual chair at the moment, and it has an unreasonably low weight capacity, making it inaccessible for many potential users. #Guelph @DEEPguelph

Because of the Guelph Access Library, someone got a chance to see a loved one in hospice one last time. If we can find a space and fully launch, we can make more moments like this happen. Please help us find a location! #Guelph @DEEPguelph

4th review of the AODA by Rich Donovan: “The current experience for many people with disabilities in Ontario is poor. This stems from design flaws in services, products, technology, buildings, infrastructure, careers, processes, and human imagination.” aodaalliance.org/whats-new/p…

Guelph is filled with passionate, caring, generous people & I know that we can get a location if the right person hears about us! Please help us find space, #Guelph!

The Guelph Access Library is desperately seeking a location to host us! We're otherwise pretty much ready to launch, but the issue of space is being a major barrier. (1/4)

The snow removal accessibility issue needs to be prioritized. It’s ridiculous to expect people with mobility issues to stay indoors due to inadequate sidewalk clearing. Down to the pavement, the full width of the sidewalk, every snowfall. Anything less just isn’t good enough.
So @CouncillorCaton literally came to dig me out of my sidewalk issue here in #guelph
@cityofguelph
I’m grateful for good friends like this
@CamGuthrie We need to do something about sidewalk snow removal for #accessibility

Awesome resource for the #Guelph community comes from a founding member of UGDC - Check out the Guelph Access Library!
Hello, #Guelph! The Guelph Access Library is a new project by @DEEPguelph. We are collecting mobility aids and other accessibility aids to create a free library to make accessibility accessible to more people.
Happy International Day of Persons With Disabilities! If you're looking to make a material difference in the lives of Guelphites with disabilities, please consider donating items for people with sensitivities! #IDPWD
