Timeline of the Accessibility Plan

The City of Regina’s first Accessibility Plan was approved by Council April 24, 2024.

The Accessibility Plan set out three goals:

  1. Identifying, removing and preventing barriers to participating in civic life.
  2. Strengthening the City’s ongoing commitment to becoming an age-friendly and accessible city.
  3. Creating a centralized, strategic plan to coordinate accessibility efforts across all City departments.


As of February 2026, the City has completed 33 actions and another 41 are in progress. Of the short-term actions (to be completed in 2024-2026), 46 per cent are complete and 47 per cent are in progress. With the budget approved for 2026, nearly all short-term actions are expected to be completed by the end of 2026. See the attached Action Items document for full details.


Some highlights of the actions that have been completed are:

  • Level 1 Disability Awareness training completed and rolled out to the organization.
  • Level 2 Disability Awareness training developed and ready to launch in early 2026.
  • Sidewalk Working Group created, so all relevant departments are actively collaborating on sidewalk accessibility and quality.
  • Disability Sector meetings with organizations that support and provide service to individuals with disabilities meet quarterly.
  • Prioritization of engagement throughout the implementation of the Plan.
  • Compensation policy for people with lived experience.
  • App to support initiating the walk signal on Audible Pedestrian Signals (PedApp).
  • Accessible Signage Policy rolled out, and signage updated in most public-facing City facilities.
  • Numerous updates to many facilities to improve accessibility.
  • Creation of the Access Leisure Newsletter.
  • Creation of email Accessibility@Regina.ca for ease of contact for accessibility questions and concerns.


What is next? We will continue to work through the implementation of the full Plan with the budget allocated. Some exciting next steps include:

  • Expansion of sidewalk snow removal in high-pedestrian areas, starting in the 2026/27 season.
  • Expansion of the number of sidewalk repairs completed in 2026 and 2027.
  • Exploring opportunities to increase engagement and impact of Accessibility Advisory Committee.
  • Complete Streets Framework development.
  • Universal Design Policy and standards development.
  • Accessible Communication Policy finalization and rollout.
  • Improvements to hiring process and forms.
  • Sidewalk standards and continued work to improve the walkability and rollability of our city.
