SUMMARY:AODA for Small Business
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online. \n\n\n\nAccessibility is an important consideration for ensuring businesses can thrive. \n\n\n\nThe Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act\, 2005 (AODA) is intended to reduce and remove barriers for people with disabilities so that Ontario can become more accessible and inclusive for everyone. \n\n\n\nIdentifying\, preventing\, and removing barriers for people with disabilities creates an Ontario that is built for everyone – whether you’re pushing a stroller\, making a delivery\, or using a walker or a wheelchair. People with disabilities will choose a business where they feel welcomed\, and where they can easily get the products and services they want. \n\n\n\nPeople with disabilities and older adults are a large and growing group of consumers. There are 2.6 million people in Ontario with a disability; more than 40% of this population is over the age of 65. As the population ages\, this number will grow. \n\n\n\nBusinesses can attract more customers and employees by removing as many barriers to access as possible\, making Ontario open for business and open for jobs for everyone. \n\n\n\nThis presentation will cover an overview of Ontario’s regulated accessibility standards requirements for small businesses in Ontario with less than 20 employees. \n\n\n\nJoin us to learn what you can do to make your small business AODA-compliant and accessible! \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio: \n\n\n\nThe Ontario Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility (MSAA) helps seniors and people with disabilities stay independent\, active\, and socially connected. MSAA is helping to make Ontario more accessible for everyone and promote the benefits of age-diverse\, accessible workplaces and communities where everyone is able to participate. All speakers will be Senior Program Advisors from MSAA.
