The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act,
2005 ("AODA") is a legislative
framework that aims to develop, implement and enforce accessibility
standards "in order to achieve accessibility for Ontarians
with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities,
accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises on or
before January 1, 2025".
Compliance Report - Deadline Extended to June 30, 2021
As mentioned in our previous blog, private-sector
and not-for-profit organizations in Ontario with 20+ employees were
previously required to submit an AODA compliance report by
December 31, 2020. However, the Ontario government recently
extended the foregoing AODA compliance report submission deadline
for such organizations to June 30, 2021.1 Further details on
how organization can complete and submit the accessibility report
can be found
