Webinar: Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)

AODA requirements are bringing major changes to Ontario’s career colleges. Understand these changes and your responsibility to accommodate and ensure your college is aware of the resources available with the help of our legal experts.

In coordination with this webinar, we have put together a special issue of CCO's sector magazine, The Voice. This issue serves as a supplementary document and necessary precursor for those attending the AODA webinar.

About the Webinar

Owners and staff who attend this online event will be able to apply the resources and information conveyed in this webinar directly to their institution and ensure staff are prepared to meet the January 1, 2018 AODA requirements.
