The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) is the leading legislation with the goal to create provincial accessibility standards and make Ontario completely accessible by 2025.

The following areas are standardized in the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation under the AODA:

Customer Service
Transportation
Information and Communication
Built Environment
Employment

The following are the current policies of the Town:

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, (AODA) provides that municipalities must establish an Accessibility Advisory Committee. The responsibilities of TAAC are:

Reviews blueprints and designs;
Tours existing facilities and suggests improvements;
Carries out all obligations of an Accessibility Advisory Committee as established by the AODA.

The Town would be happy to accommodate your accessibility request. If you require an accessible document or a communication support, please contact the Clerk.

The Town is committed to providing high quality customer service and it welcomes public input as it helps to identify areas where changes are required and ways in which we can improve.

You can provide us with your feedback in a variety of ways, including by completing the Accessible Customer Service Complaint and Feedback Form or by contacting the Clerk.
