Making Ontario accessible. Ontario laws have set standards for accessibility, under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005. These important standards are designed to create a barrier-free and accessible Ontario by 2025.
Ontario's businesses, organizations and communities are working to become more accessible and inclusive to people with disabilities.
The second standard, called the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation became law in 2011. This regulation includes accessibility standards for Information and Communications, Employment, and Transportation.
Please note many individuals and companies are now offering consulting services on accessibility matters including compliance with the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and the standards.
The Accessibility Directorate of Ontario, the Ministry of Community and Social Services, and the Government of Ontario do not endorse any accessibility consultant, including their advice, opinions or recommendations. Relying on them is at your own risk.
