Two days after the election, on October 26, 2022, I congratulated all members of the new council and offered kudos to councillors Pouget and Courtney; I did not encounter any barriers during their campaigns to represent their community.

Unfortunately, the remaining 5 created and/or perpetuated barriers for the approximate 5000 Amherstburg residents with disabilities so as a result, I asked:

• of the accessibility information the town provided to you for your campaign, which did you read?
• what trainings have you participated in for accessibility legislation, for example, as an employee, volunteer, etc.?
• how will you fulfill the obligation to remove barriers?
