Introduction

Georgian’s Accessibility Plan impacts many different aspects of the College. The plan is being distributed and reviewed by educators, students, community, managers, union representatives and physical resource personnel on all campuses.

The Ontario Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) 2005, became law on June 13, 2005.
The purpose of the Act is to:

• Develop, implement and enforce accessibility standards with respect to the goods, services, facilities, accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises by January 1, 2025.
• Provide for the involvement of persons with disabilities, the Government of Ontario and representatives of various sectors of the economy in the development of accessibility standards.

Commitment to Accessibility Planning

Georgian College is committed to continually improving access to all College premises, facilities, and services which spans across three main campuses and four regional campuses located throughout Central Ontario, Canada.

The aim of Georgian’s annual Accessibility Plan is to identify, remove and prevent barriers to persons with disabilities and establish priorities for future accommodations.
