Multi-Year Accessibility Plan

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) applies to private and public sector organizations and mandates the development, implementation and enforcement of common and sector specific standards to achieve accessibility for persons with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities, accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises.

Section 4 of the AODA Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) requires every obligated organization to establish, implement, maintain and document a multi-year accessibility plan, which outlines the organization’s strategy to prevent and remove barriers and meet its requirements under this Regulation under the IASR.

The Township of The North Shore Multi-Year Accessibility Plan must be reviewed and updated at least once every five years.
