Regina's Accessibility Plan

Share your thoughts on Regina's Accessibility Plan

The City wants your feedback about its Accessibility Plan implementation.

An accessible Regina is one where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds can meaningfully participate in community life, without facing barriers. A barrier can be defined as anything that prevents the equitable participation of a person with a disability or an older adult. In addition to physical barriers to access, this can include barriers related to attitudes, communication, systems and more.

To build and foster an inclusive, accessible community, Regina City Council approved the City’s first Accessibility Plan in 2024. The plan is intended to identify, remove and prevent barriers to access in City spaces, programs and services. It contains over 80 actions to be completed by 2034 related to engagement, built environment, transportation, employment, communication, programs and services and procurement.

As we put the plan into progress, we want to get your feedback on how we’re doing.

Why Your Input Matters

Your feedback is what drives the plan and the City's work. The Accessibility Plan prioritized the voices of people with disabilities, older adults and their care providers and families. It was developed with the barriers faced by community members in mind. As the Accessibility Plan is implemented, the City will continue to seek input from the community to ensure barriers that stand in the way of your full participation in civic life in Regina are being removed.

  • 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.
