Township of Brock Accessibility Award Nominations
The Township of Brock Accessibility Award is presented once a year to an organization or business in Brock that has shown a concerted effort to improve accessibility. Improved accessibility can mean either physical alterations or new programs and features that reduce barriers and permit greater access to services for those with disabilities. The purpose of this recognition is to thank the organization or business for its efforts and to encourage other organizations and businesses in the community to make accessible improvements.
