Alberta publishes new accessibility standard guide, but Minister says more work to do

Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver said while the changes will be helpful to some, more can be done, especially because existing buildings don't need to be updated

The Alberta government has published a new accessibility design guide, marking the first major update to the document since 2017.

The guide is meant to help architects, city planners, the construction industry and the public understand and implement building rules to make public and private spaces more accessible for those with mobility challenges and disabilities.
