The Grand River Accessibility Advisory Committee (GRAAC) works with local municipalities to create barrier-free communities and services. GRAAC is a cross-disability municipal advisory committee whose members advise the municipal Councils of the Cities of Kitchener and Waterloo, the Region of Waterloo and the Townships of Woolwich, Wellesley, Wilmot and North Dumfries. Members are chosen for their experience in the field of disability, and are people with lived experience with disability issues. Members must be willing to work within the framework of a municipal advisory committee.

GRAAC's mission

The Grand River Accessibility Advisory Committee helps local municipalities fulfill the purpose of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. They provide vision and advice regarding the removal of barriers (physical, architectural, technological, informational, communicational, attitudinal and policy/practice).
