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.
