The Town’s Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) is comprised of volunteer members of the Ajax community living with various abilities.

Read more below about current activities.

Treat Accessibly - Be an Accessibility Ambassador this Halloween for your chance to win!

The Town of Ajax and Ajax Public Library are pleased to support the Treat Accessibly movement. Treat Accessibly is a grass-roots movement that helps people provide an accessible and inclusive trick-or-treating experience for children across Canada. Displaying a Treat Accessibly lawn sign lets people in your neighbourhood know that you support accessible trick-or-treating and is a symbol that promotes accessible and inclusive change in the community.

Pick up a free Treat Accessibly lawn sign at any library branch, while supplies last:

  • Main Branch: 55 Harwood Ave. S
  • Audley Branch: 1955 Audley Rd. N
  • McLean Branch: 95 Magill Dr.

1. Place your Treat Accessibly lawn sign on your lawn during the week before Halloween.
2. Visit www.treataccessibly.com for tips on how to make your trick-or-treating setup accessible.
3. Submit a photo of your sign and setup by October 29th for your chance to win a Trick-or-Treatza Pizza Party!
