Accessibility

The City of Regina is committed to providing accessible and inclusive programs and services for all residents in our community.

What’s on this page?

    Accessibility Advisory Committee

    The City of Regina Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) advises City Administration and City Council on strategies to improve the accessibility and inclusivity of services, programs, facilities and other infrastructure, including the identification and removal of barriers that hinder full participation in the community by some Regina residents.

    Specifically, the committee will:

    • advise on the development, implementation and evaluation of guiding principles, policies, and strategies to position Regina as a model community for the inclusion of all residents, including persons experiencing disability;
    • identify and liaise with local stakeholders, including other levels of government, to establish partnerships and collaboration related to improving access and inclusion;
    • review plans and policies to identify potential barriers to accessibility and inclusion within City of Regina services;
    • provide recommendations on City of Regina capital projects, including infrastructure upgrades and retrofits and implementation of accessible features at new and existing City of Regina facilities;
    • review Federal and Provincial directives, regulations, and legislation relating to accessibility and inclusion and identify implications for the City of Regina;
    • Review research on accessibility issues and current leading practices for eliminating barriers to participation;
    • provide advice on public awareness campaigns to promote the City’s efforts to make its services, facilities, and infrastructure accessible and barrier-free;
    • provide community engagement opportunities for people that experience disability to raise issues and concerns with decision makers.

    Accessible Pedestrian Signals

    Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS), inform pedestrians who are blind or visually impaired when they have the right-of-way to cross at a signalized intersection.

    Accessible Pedestrian Signals use two audible tones with the visual pedestrian signals to designate the direction of the pedestrian right-of-way. For the north/south right-of-way, the ‘cuckoo’ audible tone is sounded, and for the east/west right-of-way, the ‘chirp’ audible tone is sounded.

    The APS units are also equipped with vibro-tactile features for pedestrians who are deaf or hard of hearing. Raised arrows on the APS indicate the crossing direction of the unit, which then vibrates in combination with the audible tone to indicate right-of-way for that crossing.

    APS also use a ‘locator tone’ to assist pedestrians in locating the pushbutton. This tone currently varies between units as either a ‘beeping’ or a ‘ticking’ sounds.

    The City of Regina has 69 intersections equipped with APS. As part of its vision to be an inclusive and accessible community, the City is committed to retrofitting six signalized intersections with APS each year. Any newly signalized intersections with pedestrian access are automatically installed with APS.

    To request a location for APS installation, please contact Service Regina at 306 777-7000 or use our online request form. Requested locations are prioritized using criteria, such as intersection configuration and safety, pedestrian and vehicle volumes, and proximity to public transit and various pedestrian destinations.

    Accessibility for Seniors

    Seniors citizens are important members of our community. The Age Well Regina Guide was created by Age Friendly Regina to help older adults (people aged 55+) access information about different health opportunities, programs, resources and services in Regina.

    This Guide can help reduce the complexity of accessing different services and programs available in the community. The Guide is broken down into three main sections:

    • Housing: Learn about housing options in Regina for older adults and their families. A description of the needs and associated terms has been provided to help older adults and families to identify the best housing options based on the level of need.
    • Mental Health: Learn about the support services and groups available for older adults and their families in Regina.
    • Crime Prevention and Safety: Learn about safety and prevention services in Regina for older adults and their families.
