The primary purpose of the Advisory Committee on Disability Issues (ACDI) is to advise City Council and all City departments on issues specifically related to people with disabilities. A secondary purpose is to advocate on behalf of persons with disabilities to other authorities which formulate policy and/or offer programs which affect people with disabilities. Disabilities are understood to mean all forms: physical, mental, emotional; visible and invisible.

Please read about ACDI's recent accomplishments in the ACDI Report 2009.

ACDI is a Standing Advisory Committee of, and reports directly to, the Social Development Advisory Board (SDAB), which in turn reports to the Public Services Committee (PSC). The Public Services Committee is a Standing Committee of City Council.
