The goal of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), 2005, is to make Ontario accessible to people with disabilities by 2025. The Accessibility Standards for Customer Service have been created to ensure that goods and services are accessible to all Ontarians and the persons with disabilities are treated with respect, dignity and equality.
In keeping with our mission statement, we shall make every effort to ensure that our policies, procedures and practices adhere to the guiding principles established in the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service; Ontario Regulation 429/07.
This policy applies to all YWCA St. Thomas-Elgin employees, volunteers, or agents who deal with the public or other third parties.
We are committed to ensuring that persons with disabilities can access our goods and services.
