Welcome to Ontario's Municipal Accessibility Toolkit Website!

Important Information Just Released - Click here

The site has been established by AMCTO - the Association of Municipal Managers, Clerks & Treasurers of Ontario - with financial support from the Ministry of Community & Social Services to help the municipal sector meet its responsibilities under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005.

During the past two years, since the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service, Ontario Regulation 429/07 and Ontario Regulation 430/07 were enacted, the website has attempted to assist municipalities with information and resources as they worked to implement the regulations requirements.

Since the public sector organizations are required to have the requirements in place and to submit their compliance checklists by March 31, 2010, the focus of this site is changing to reflect ways municipalities can prepare for the other four standards.

The website is maintained with the help of AMCTO's Municipal Accessibility Project Team. Click here for Terms of Reference. We welcome suggestions for additions to the site.
