Excellence in Universal Design
and Accessibility
On behalf of the City of Winnipeg, it is my pleasure to
welcome everyone attending the 2014 City of Winnipeg
Access Awards, hosted by the City of Winnipeg’s Access
Advisory Committee.
Twenty years ago, the City of Winnipeg established the
Access Advisory Committee as a way to recommend
improvements to the way our public spaces and buildings
are designed, so more people can enjoy the things
Winnipeg has to offer. The City is proud to sponsor the
Access Awards since 2002.
I would like to thank all of the architects, designers,
engineers, and owners who have worked hard to create
inspiring spaces that employ principles of universal design
to improve the accessibility of buildings and public spaces
for people of all ages and abilities. You help create safer,
more comfortable spaces that are not only beautiful
and functional – it also makes our City more inclusive,
welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone.
On behalf of the citizens of Winnipeg and my esteemed
colleagues on City Council, I extend congratulations to all
the nominees and winners, and thanks for your passion
and hard work.
Warm regards,
Sam Katz
MAYOR
Greetings from our Chairperson
Ross Eadie, City Councillor, Chairperson
It is with pride that leads me to congratulate all the
nominees for the 2014 Access Awards. When the Access
Advisory Committee started in 1994 who knew we would
be partnering with the professionals working in the built
environment and in service delivery. Great strides have been
made due to the partnerships you have made in providing
access for all. Thank you!
