• Accessibility in your community.  Ontario needs to be more accessible to people with disabilities. It makes good sense - economically and socially. By working together - individuals, communities, organizations, businesses - we are making good progress towards our goal of an accessible Ontario by 2025. Ontario’s municipalities have a special role in making their communities accessible for people of all abilities. Under the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001, municipalities with more than 10,000 residents have to establish local accessibility advisory committees. Ministry of Community and Social Services.
