Buildings occupied by staff in my Department are under the control of the Office of Public Works with my Department being a tenant in OPW owned or leased buildings.
All buildings that my staff occupy are wheelchair accessible. My Department has a dedicated Access Officer responsible for providing, arranging or coordinating assistance to persons with disabilities who need to access our buildings on official business.
