Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act: What You Need to Know Before January 1, 2012

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is intended to break down barriers that prevent or limit people with disabilities from participating in society. To accomplish this goal the AODA creates accessibility standards (i.e., rules to identify and remove barriers) regarding customer service, information and communication, employment and transportation that employers in Ontario must implement as early as January 1, 2012.

Please join our experienced panel:
