The province is forking over $60,000 to the Town of Lincoln in order to improve accessibility.

The Town will receive the money through the province's Inclusive Community Grant Program.

This money, as well as the $200,000 set aside in the 2021 capital budget, will be used to provide accessibility upgrades across 10 municipal facilities.

The upgrades include accessible parking, automatic door systems and wall-mounted fixtures.

Staff are developing a plan to incorporate these changes by March 2022.
