Accessibility Plan
Statement of Commitment
RRC Polytech is committed to developing a culture of diversity and inclusivity for the communities we serve. We believe in equal access to education and employment, and as one of the province’s leading post-secondary institutions, we are committed to fostering an environment that is welcoming, supportive and respectful of the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities.
RRC Polytech is committed to continuing its work to remove barriers to education and employment, and to promote access and participation in all aspects and activities of the College. Building on decades of inclusion and the establishment of best practices, it is the responsibility of each member of the RRC Polytech community — including employees, students, alumni, volunteers and their representative organizations — to play a part in creating an equitable and inclusive environment. To support individuals to satisfy the requirements of their education or employment, we commit to making reasonable accommodations that may be required to allow persons with disabilities to be successful.
We believe in inclusion and we will continue our work to meet, and exceed where possible, the mandate of The Accessibility for Manitobans Act and the mandate of The Human Rights Code.
RRC Polytech’s Accessibility Plan Governance Framework
In 2024, RRC Polytech introduced a Governance Framework to strengthen the development and implementation of our Accessibility Plan. As part of this framework, we formed a Project Board to oversee the plan’s implementation and provide leadership to the Accessibility Plan Working Group (APWG).
The APWG was reestablished in 2024 to carry out the Accessibility Action Plans. This includes forming Accessibility Project Teams to work on specific initiatives. Additionally, the Accessibility Plan Coordination Team was reestablished to support the central coordination work for the Accessibility Plan.
The new framework aims to continuously improve accessibility within the College. For any questions or concerns about accessibility at the College, please email diversity@rrc.ca.
Our Accessibility Plan
RRC Polytech commits to continuously improving accessibility within the College. This plan details our steps to identify and remove barriers for people with disabilities.
Every two years, we renew our Accessibility Plan. Between renewals, we provide updates on our progress. This includes the achievements and initiatives we’ve implemented from the previous Accessibility plan.
