VANOC Terms and Policies

Accessibility Policy

Accessibility means addressing barriers to participation — social, economic or physical — to allow the fullest community participation in the benefits and activities of the Games. For example, VANOC’s hiring and purchasing procedures encourage access for a broad spectrum of people.

VANOC is currently working with inner-city, disability, at-risk and Aboriginal groups to identify targets that will ensure inclusiveness in the Games and a lasting legacy.
