Ontario nowhere near goal of full accessibility by 2025, review finds

Michelle McQuigge, The Canadian Press, CBC News, March 8, 2019
The accessibility law that took effect in Ontario 14 years ago and has served as a blueprint for similar legislation in other parts of Canada has fallen well short of its goals and continues to leave disabled residents facing daily, “soul-crushing” barriers, a former lieutenant governor has found. David Onley, a wheelchair user tasked with reviewing the implementation of Ontario’s Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, delivered a withering indictment of nearly all aspects of the law in a report quietly tabled in the provincial legislature this week. The report offers 15 recommendations to province’s Progressive Conservative government.
