Alternate Formats and Communication Support
Woolwich Township aims to provide information in accessible formats whenever possible. There are some cases where someone may require information in an alternative format (for example, high contrast or large print) or we are unable to provide information in an accessible format (for example, some mapping information or hand written public comments). Please contact the Township's Accessibility Coordinator if you require assistance with communication support or information in an alternate format.
