If this is done there usually little or no additional' cost to the building. However, despite letters from ALPHA-Huron to all the area town councils, ex- plaining the importance of ;accessibility, and the group's willingness to offer, advice on the mattee;S' inaccessible buildings continue to be find it frusfrating," says Pat, "that so few people ask u's about what we need.." Perfect examples of • this are the new community centres in some towns. They were made accessible, or so the builders thought, by . putting in elevators and making some alterations. The only problem is that the builders did not seek the advice of the disabled, and, as a result, many of the alterations are poor in terms of accessibility; ALPHA- Hurons' 4 advice is free, but people continue to take. the attitude that they know what is best for the disabled instead of asking the disabled what is best for them, HoweVer, Pat is quick to' point out that efforts to make buildings accessible are, ap- preciated by the disabled as they now can use-the facilit- ies. Her only wish is that the Setting salaries was given final reading and passed.
