A 2 page document explaining the Accessibility for
Ontarians with Disabilities Act which was passed into law in 2005.
The first of these standards, Customer Service, has been passed with
a compliance deadline of January 1, 2012, for service providers.
The document explains briefly what this has to do
with the Church and has several links to resources.
