Multiyear Plan 2023 – 2025
The AODA seeks to provide a fully accessible Ontario by 2025. Consistent with this objective, there are many obligations placed on organizations, including Dovercourt, to ensure their workplaces and services are fully accessible to the public and employees, including persons with disabilities.
Under the AODA, and specifically the IASR, Dovercourt is required to develop a multi-year accessibility plan outlining its strategy to remove barriers to accessibility, and to meet requirements under the IASR.
This Multi-Year Accessibility Plan will assist Dovercourt in coordinating efforts to meet the needs of persons with disabilities. Dovercourt is committed to the principles of independence, dignity, integration and equality of opportunity as described in the AODA.
