Kemijärvi Disability Council
The Kemijärvi Disability Council works alongside organisations to promote the views of disabled residents in the community. The Disability Council is a consultative and cooperative body of disabled people and their organisations and representatives of the municipal administration.
The Disability Council can make initiatives and proposals and give opinions on matters that are relevant to the living and performance of people with disabilities. The Disability Council cannot deal with individual cases.
