How is accessibility in your community

Ontario needs to be more accessible to people with disabilities. it makes good sense - economically and socially. by working together - individuals, communities, organizations, businesses - we are making good progress towards our goal of an accessible Ontario by 2025.

Ontario's municipalities have a special role in making their communities accessible for people all accessibility. about 150 municipalities have set up local accessibility advisory communities. the accessibility advisory communities work with their local councils to identify and break down barriers for people with disabilities.

the goal of these communities is to make a real difference for people with disabilities in their communities. and you can give them more of a helping hand. please share some success stories and share best practices.

As time goes on, we'll post tools and resources to help them continue to promote accessibility at the local levels.


these tips are adapted form the  Accessibility Directorate of Ontario, the regulator of  the AODA and all it's standards. please refer to www.accesson.ca for more information.

 If you are interested in learning more about Accessibility Directorate of Ontario Act (AODA) or how make accessibility a natural part of your business through the application of Corporate Social Responsibility, please contact Sandra Broekhof@416-503-1035 or  sandrabroekhof@sympatico.ca or visit www.accessibilitycompliance.ca
