What is AODA?


The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is an important law. The AODA sets out the structure by which we can make Ontario accessible to all people by 2025. 

The purpose of the AODA is to develop, implement and enforce accessibility standards so businesses and organizations that provide goods and services will have to meet certain accessibility standards in five important areas of our lives:

  • Customer Service
  • Transportation
  • Information and Communication
  • Built Environment
  • Employment

The standards apply to George Brown College and as such we are obligated to meet the requirements of these standards. 

To find out about what is a ‘disability’, what is a ‘barrier’, and what an ‘accessibility standard’ is, and much more – go to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act website (Ministry and Community and Social Services).
