Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is Ontario’s law to make the province more accessible for people with disabilities. It sets standards to improve access in areas like customer service, employment, transportation, information, and built environments. The goal is to remove barriers so everyone can participate fully in society, whether through better communication, physical access, or inclusive policies. Organizations are required to comply with these standards, creating an inclusive community that respects and accommodates the diverse needs of all individuals.
