Accessibility Plan
Multi-Year Accessibility Plan 2024-2028
The Ontario Government passed the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act in 2005.
Standards were set in the act for business and organizations in the province. By following these standards we are able to improve opportunities for people with disabilities and provide for their involvement in the identification, removal and prevention of barriers to their full participation in the life of this Province.
The Accessibility Standard for Customer Service was the first standard to become law.
The next four standards - Information and Communications, Employment, Transportation and the Built Environment (buildings and outdoor spaces) - have been combined under one regulation, the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation. This regulation is now law and the requirements currently in the regulation are being phased in between 2011 and 2021.
Ontario will be accessible by 2025.
