Ontario Launches Accessibility Action Plan, News Release, June 3, 2015
The AODA has transformed the lives of people with disabilities by establishing standards in key areas of daily life, including customer service, employment, information and communications, transportation and the design of public spaces.
The Path to 2025, Ontario’s Accessibility Action Plan, was Introduced on the 10 Year Anniversary of Landmark Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Legislation. The Path to 2025 Accessibility Action Plan focuses on three key priorities:
– Engaging employers to understand the value of hiring people with disabilities,
– Strengthening the foundation of accessibility in Ontario, by building on the province’s accessibility laws and standards, and
– Promoting Ontario’s cultural shift to build awareness of accessibility in innovative ways, so that Ontarians of all abilities can reach their full potential.
