Accessibility

The City of Orillia is committed to enhancing accessibility in the areas of information and communications, employment, and transportation for all residents with disabilities, in a manner that:

• Respects the individuals' dignity and independence;
• Provides an equal opportunity to utilize, and benefit from, the City's goods and services; and
• Allows persons with disabilities to benefit from the same goods and services at the same time, and location, as all other residents. 

Provincial legislation

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) is provincial legislation that helps make Ontario more accessible for people with disabilities. As a municipality, the City's accessibility is also guided by the Integrated Accessibility Standard regulation and the Accessible Customer Service Standard.
