Accessibility Standards Impact Private / Non-Profit Sector Businesses

The Ontario Government has developed accessibility standards under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA). Ontario now has accessibility standards in five areas including customer service, employment, information and communications, transportation and design of public spaces. You’ll find an overview of the five standards on our website.
