Bill C-81 (An Act to ensure a barrier-free Canada)

Bill C-81, known as the Accessible Canada Act, aims to create a more inclusive society by eliminating barriers for people with disabilities. It sets out a framework for federally regulated sectors—like transportation, telecommunications, and banking—to identify, remove, and prevent obstacles. The Act mandates that organizations create accessibility plans and include input from those with disabilities. Its goal is to ensure all Canadians can participate fully in society by 2040 and to promote a culture of accessibility across the country.
