AODA Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation Released

Date: June 3, 2011

On June 3, 2011, the Ontario government announced the release of the final version of the Integrated Accessibility Standards regulation (the “final regulation”) under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (“AODA”).

The final regulation appears to follow the draft Integrated Accessibility Standards regulation (“draft regulation”), which was published in February of 2011 for public review and commentary. As previously reported, the draft regulation reflected public input received on the initial proposed regulatory requirements released in September 2010.
