In 2005, the Government of Ontario enacted the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) with the goal of achieving a fully accessible Ontario by 2025. The AODA requires public, private, and not-for-profit organizations —including post-secondary institutions—to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to accessibility for people with disabilities.
To support this objective, the AODA establishes five key accessibility standards:
-
Customer Service
-
Information and Communications
-
Employment
-
Transportation
-
Design of Public Spaces (Built Environment)
At Tyndale University, our commitment to accessibility reflects our values of dignity, respect, compassion, and inclusion. We are dedicated to ensuring that students, employees, volunteers, and visitors with disabilities can fully participate in the life of our community.
