The Federal Government has opened up a call for proposals for grants from the Enabling Accessibility Fund.

The fund provides grants to improve accessibility and safety for people with disabilities by covering the costs of renovations, construction or retrofits as well as the addition of accessible technologies in workplaces and communities.

Foothills MP John Barlow says he encourages businesses and organizations to apply for this funding if they are considering such a project.

This round of grants is open until July 26.
