In Ontario, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) regulates accessibility issues and aims to improve accessibility in areas that affect the daily living of people with disabilities.
Municipalities have obligations regarding accessibility and must meet standards in the following sectors: information and communications, employment, transportation, design of public spaces and customer service.
In 2014, the Municipality of Casselman has adopted a multi-year accessibility plan that details our strategies to identify, remove and prevent barriers in order to improve accessibility for all of our residents, employees and visitors. You may consult our Accessibility Plan online.
