People with Disabilities
Do you have any concerns about accessing an activity or have you encountered a barrier? Contact us and we’ll be happy to work with you to find solutions: loisirs@villepincourt.qc.ca. The full-fledged participation of individuals with disabilities in Québec society depends on the efforts made by municipalities to reduce, prevent and avoid disabling situations, among other factors.
Municipalities strive to provide high-quality services and make environments accessible to handicapped people, just as they do for all citizens.
When obstacles prevent people with disabilities from engaging in their regular activities or limit their ability to do so, they are confronted with a disabling situation. That’s why services must be planned and provided in such a way as to facilitate the social participation of people with disabilities, which means enabling them to engage in the full range of day-to-day activities.
The Town of Pincourt is committed to enhancing the quality of life of all its citizens by minimizing the barriers faced by people with disabilities and facilitating access to municipal buildings and activities.
