The Memorial has prepared the plan to guide how the park can become universally accessible for park visitors and employees. Preparation of a plan for transitioning to full accessibility is mandated by regulations under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as they apply to the U.S. Department of the Interior. The purpose of a transition plan is to address the required physical, structural, and programmatic changes needed to make facilities, programs, services, and activities accessible to and usable by disabled people. The transition plan addresses physical and structural changes needed. An action plan should address the programmatic changes (modification of policies, auxiliary aids, etc.) as not all existing facilities must be made physically. https://www.nps.gov/pevi/learn/news/perry-s-victory-international-peace-memorial-requesting-input-on-accessibility-plan.htm https://www.nps.gov/pevi/learn/news/park-hosts-barbershop-singers-august-10.htm Thu, 02 Aug 2018 04:10:00 EST Visitors can enjoy an old fashioned summer Put-in-Bay tradition on Friday, August 10, at Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial when the 71st annual Barbershop Singers Concert takes place at 7 pm on the back porch of the Visitor Center. “We all look forward to this event each summer,” said Superintendent Barbara Fearon, “and the park is proud to be part of the history of the barbershop singers.” https://www.nps.gov/pevi/learn/news/park-hosts-barbershop-singers-august-10.htm https://www.nps.gov/pevi/learn/news/perry-memorial-honors-rangers-with-world-ranger-day.htm Tue, 24 Jul 2018 04:29:00 EST Insurgents, unknown assailants and poachers killed nearly half of the 107 Rangers who died in the line of duty around the world the past 12 months.
