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.
