Good morning, Speaker. You’ll know that the world-renowned Abilities Centre, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, is situated in Whitby. So I am particularly pleased that its membership and town residents can now apply for, renew and replace lost or stolen accessible parking permits online from the comfort of their homes.

Local not-for-profits, like Community Care Durham, which support disabled residents will also be able to take advantage of this full suite of online services any time, anywhere. What is clear is that we are improving our services to make life easier for all Ontarians, especially those with accessibility needs.

With these new online services, residents can apply for their new accessible parking permits, renew subject-to-change permits and replace lost or stolen permits. Providing a full suite of online options to obtain an accessible parking permit is a major step forward for the hundreds of thousands of members of the Abilities Centre, making services more accessible to them and organizations supporting them, like Community Care Durham.
