Working dockside at Fairy Lake, I see on a daily basis the hurdles from a broken down dock. The general public tripping on the public dock as well, wheelchair bound people unable to reach the lake for the boundaries they have in front of them. Living with Lyme, I am handicapped, somedays invisible and some days with aid of a cane, or wheelchair. My passion to get out on the water via kayak, canoe or when my legs are strong that day, a Stand up Paddle board which, gives me such delight.

There are plans in the works to update the park at Fairy Lake in the near future. I would like the Town of Halton Hills to include updating the dock to introduce a Wheelchair Accessible floating dock that will allow for the many who cannot reach the waterside. Currently, the dock is falling apart with tripping hazards, bumpy uneven surfaces that I would not take my wheelchair on let alone if I had a child in a wheelchair.

I communicate with many people in the community of  Acton who strongly agree it is time the Town focuses on removing the boundaries that prevent "enjoying the water".
