Accessibility is about creating communities and offering services that allow everyone to take part without barriers. Regional parks and trails are a public good that belong to everyone, and providing equitable access is a priority for the Capital Regional District (CRD).
The CRD is committed to ensuring that all visitors are able to experience the natural environment of regional parks and trails. Accessibility and equity will continue to be key considerations as we improve and replace park infrastructure.
Accessibility standards developed and applied at the federal and provincial levels will inform regional efforts to improve accessibility over the next decade, as identified through the CRD Regional Parks and Trails Strategic Plan [PDF/97MB]. One of its stated priorities is to:
"Enhance health and well-being by providing equitable access to regional parks and regional trails."
