The Lunenburg County Accessibility Advisory Committee (LCAAC) invites you to share your experience living with disability in our communities through our ‘Day in the Life’ photo project.
The “Day in the Life” Project is a way for community members to help raise awareness about what it’s like to have a disability in Lunenburg County. We want to know what is working well and what are the things that create challenges and barriers.
Who can participate?
  • You live in Lunenburg County
  • You have a disability or have access needs (for example, people with vision loss, brain injury, mental health conditions, Deaf or Hard of Hearing, mobility disabilities, Neurodivergent, and more). In the Nova Scotia Accessibility Act, the definition of disability “includes a physical, mental, intellectual, learning or sensory impairment, including an episodic disability, that, in interaction with a barrier, hinders an individual’s full and effective participation in society.”
1.What is your full name?

7.The Lunenburg County Accessibility Advisory Committee (LCAAC) is organizing this photo project. The LCAAC is a committee that has members from the five municipalities in Lunenburg County and the Village of Chester. The goals of the project are to:
  • Give persons with disabilities a platform to share their positive and negative experiences living in Lunenburg County.
  • Help the public and government decision makers understand more about what it’s like to live with a disability in Lunenburg County.
  • Collect information about the barriers persons with disabilities are facing in Lunenburg County so that municipalities can make good decisions about how to make municipal spaces, processes, and services more accessible.

Participating in this project is voluntary and you can change your mind at any time.
