- The municipality of Joroinen is not liable for damage occurring to boats in the marina.

Accessibility
Accessibility is about taking the diversity of people into account in the planning, implementation and maintenance of the built environment.
In the municipality of Joroinen, an accessibility walk was carried out in June 2021 as part of the Eastern Finland traffic safety operator work. The walk focused on getting to know routes where accessibility problems had been identified, and the entrances of public and private services were examined from the perspective of accessibility.
