ONPHA has been collecting member feedback on a series of documents in reference to the Information and Communications standard and the Employment Accessibility standards being introduced via Regulation to the Act. Thus far, a Customer Service standard and Transportation standard have been passed. The public review period for the proposed Accessible Built Environment Standard ended on October 16, 2009.
