AODA

Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act

A Canadian law enacted by the province of Ontario in 2005. Its primary goal is to develop, implement, and enforce accessibility standards to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to goods, services, facilities, employment, and information. The AODA covers both public and private sectors and includes specific requirements for accessibility in areas like customer service, transportation, information and communications, and the built environment. The ultimate objective of the AODA is to make Ontario fully accessible by the year 2025, promoting inclusivity and reducing barriers for individuals with disabilities.
