The Challenge: The "Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act" (AODA) is new legislation that applies to hundreds of thousands of businesses in Ontario, as well as to community groups and public services. The AODA aims to remove many of the barriers people experience in public and commercial areas.
People with disabilities are a growing consumer market in Canada. Nationally people with disabilities account for an estimated $25 billion a year in consumer spending and influence the spending decisions of twelve to fifteen million other Canadians.
Over one-in-eight Ontarians have disabilities that keep them from more fully participating in society. That will only increase as baby boomers move into their senior years. According to Statistics Canada by 2025 the number of Ontarians with disabilities will grow to about 1 in 5.
