The Town of Essex will reveal its newest accessibility feature at Colchester Beach on Wednesday, June 27 at 1:00pm.
Members of the media and local community are invited to join dignitaries for the unveiling of the brand new Mobi Mats and commemorative plaque at the beach, located at 100 Jackson Street in Colchester Centre.
The Mobi Mats are rollout semi-rigid surfaces designed to provide beach access for wheelchairs, strollers, and pedestrians with mobility issues. The mats are part of a suite of new accessibility features recently added at Colchester Beach, Harbour, and Community Centre.
The addition of Mobi Mats was made possible through the generous donation of the Watsa family, in memory of David Watsa. David was a long-time and dedicated member of the Colchester Harbour Committee.
The unveiling event will include speeches from Essex Town Council, a member of the Accessibility Advisory Committee, as well as the Watsa family.
