Businesses interested in taking part in the city’s Barrier-Free Grant now have until the end of the year to apply.
The initiative offers a matching grant covering 50 per cent of project costs, up to a maximum of $20,000, for eligible accessibility enhancements. Accessibility improvement projects focus on making both physical spaces and communication more inclusive for people with disabilities
Grande Prairie Mayor Jackie Clayton says extending the Barrier-Free Grant deadline underscores the city’s commitment to building an inclusive and caring community.
“By supporting accessibility improvements, we enhance the quality of life for all residents and strengthen engaging relationships across sectors to create a more connected and resilient city.””
Projects may include the installation of ramps, accessible washrooms, elevators, or improvements to digital platforms to ensure compatibility with assistive technologies. You can find more information, and links to apply, at the City of Grande Prairie website.
