at Regent Christian Academy
Accessibility Plan
Regent Christian Academy first formed its Accessibility Committee in the 2023 – 2024 school year in response to the requirements of the Accessible British Columbia Act. The committee continues its work for 2024 – 2025 with the purpose of advising the school in the development, monitoring, and ongoing improvement of our Accessibility Plan.
The committee includes members who reflect the diversity of our school community and supports our commitment to identifying, preventing, and removing barriers that people with disabilities and diverse abilities may experience within our learning and working environments.
