The purpose of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities
Act (AODA) is to develop, implement and enforce
accessibility standards to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with
disabilities, with respect to goods, services, facilities,
accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and
premises. Businesses, non-profits, government, and public
sector organizations must comply with accessibility
standards. Requirements and deadlines depend on an
organization's type and size.
In this ASAP, we review upcoming deadlines for AODA compliance
reports and accessible websites.
AODA Compliance Reports
For businesses and non-profits with 20 or more
employees, the deadline to file the
Accessibility Compliance Report (ACR) has been extended
to June 30, 2021. Prior to the
extension of the deadline, ACRs were due to be filed on December
31, 2020.
