League of Women Voters forum examines accessibility in Leelanau

From staff reports

How can Leelanau County ensure that its places, spaces, and services are designed for people of all abilities, including those born with a disability and those facing physical challenges over time?

That question will be front and center at a public forum titled “Universally Accessible Leelanau?” which the League of Women Voters of Leelanau County will hold on Wednesday, April 2, at noon at the Leelanau County Government Center on M-204 between Lake Leelanau and Suttons Bay.

Presenters will include: Derenda Lefevre, recreational therapist and disability inclusion specialist; Kim Boose,  educator and community advocate, and a community member’s story about experiencing access in Leelanau.

The League of Women Voters invites attendees to learn why universal access is important for all communities and explore possibilities to improve accessibility in Leelanau County.
