Township Services - Interior Right

The Township is committed to providing inclusive and accessible communities and continues to implement the legislated requirements set out in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

Accessibility standards contained within the AODA focus on five key areas:

Under AODA, municipalities are required to establish, implement, maintain and document a multi-year accessibility plan, as well as an accessibility policy. Under the Customer Service Standard, the Township must establish a policy on providing accessible customer service to people with disabilities.
