Together, let’s respect parking spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility!
In this Quebec Week of Persons with Disabalities, the Town of Sutton wishes to highlight the members of our population who live with a disability and, in particular, people with reduced mobility who often have difficulty getting around, accessing a place or benefiting from the facilities provided for them. In line with the 2023-2027 action plan (action 6.1.3) of its Family and Seniors Policy the Town of Sutton is working to make its activities and events more accessible to people with reduced mobility. Reserved spaces have been added to municipal parking lots, and their marking and identification are checked and maintained by the Public Works and Fixed Assets Department. Did you know?

Reserved parking awareness campaign from June 1 to 30
Throughout the month of June, a national campaign to raise awareness of the need to respect parking spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility is being run by Spinal cord and motricity Québec (MÉMO-Qc). The aim of the campaign is to inform, mobilize and change behaviour so that everyone can move around freely, while respecting the rights of people with reduced mobility.
Semaine québécoise des personnes handicapées from June 1 to 7
The Semaine québécoise des personnes handicapées (Quebec Week of Persons with Disabalities) takes place from June 1 to 7, 2025. This year, the Office des personnes handicapées du Québec (OPHQ) is proposing the theme “We lose sight of the potential when we only see the difference”. This message invites us to look beyond our differences and appreciate the richness and unique talents of each and every one of us. The mobilization of everyone is important to building a more inclusive society: working to improve the accessibility of businesses, public places and public transport, as well as the workplace, enables people with disabilities to integrate and develop their full potential.
