AODA Legislation Update

On June 3rd the Ministry of Community and Social Services announced the release of the Integrated Accessibility Standards under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. Following the legislation of the Customer Service Regulation in 2007, this regulation combines the Information & Communication, Employment and Transportation Standards.

We will continue to communicate with you with more details on how the implementation of the Integrated Accessibility Standards will affect you.
