Accessibility
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 is the first of its kind in Canada.
People with disabilities should have the same kind of opportunities as everyone else. They should be able to do the things that most of us take for granted like going to work or school.
That's the goal of Ontario's legislation. Businesses and organizations - like the Upper Canada District School Board - who provide goods and services to people in Ontario will have to meet certain accessibility standards in five important areas of our lives:
- Customer Service
- Built Environment
- Employment
- Information and Communication
- Transportation
The UCDSB has an opportunity to provide leadership by making the provisions of the Act work for all Ontarians.
The UCDSB will ensure to make information available in accessible formations, or with appropriate communication supports.
We welcome your comments and feedback about accessibility issues at the UCDSB. If you have comments or suggestions, please write to us at [email protected].
