Barrier-Free draws attention to Ontario report

June 4, 2010

The Province of Ontario has released a final version of the Charles Beer Independent Review on the implementation of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

The report is based on a comprehensive review required under the AODA. Its recommendations provide the basis to ensure Ontario is fully accessible by 2025.

Barrier-Free Manitoba is calling for similar legislation in Manitoba, which will build on the strengths of models already in place in other jurisdictions.

Barrier-Free says the Beer Report provides an important piece of research to support the development of made-in-Manitoba legislation that is required to make Manitoba a leader in the protection and enforcement of the human rights of persons with disabilities.
