All, Attached is a worksheet we are completing for the Soil Science unit ("AMA Worksheet for Identifying Unit Barriers-Soil Science" . The University is conducting an audit to identify Accessibility challenges and is requesting this from all units. This is in response to provincial legislation on accessibility.

Terri Ramm was our representative at a faculty meeting on accessibility. She and I have started filling out the workshop and added some points to it.

We would like to provide everyone with the opportunity to comment on accessibility issues. This is very broadly defined and some of the barriers may not be relevant in our buildings. However, it would be useful to learn about any potential issues that may exist.

For more information, you can refer to the documents that Heather Wiebe circulated in her message.

Please respond by *September 30* if you have any information that you feel should be added.

Thanks, Paul
