Accessibility Advisory Committee of Council

Accessibility

What is accessibility? It simply means giving people of all abilities opportunities to participate fully in everyday life.

The Township of Tiny is committed to promoting independence, dignity, integration, and equality of opportunity for persons with disabilities. Our goal is to make the Township workplaces accessible and welcoming environments where both employees and customers are accommodated, in a timely manner, to meet their needs.

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act was passed in 2005. Its goal is to make Ontario accessible for people with disabilities by 2025. This Act lays the framework for the development of province-wide mandatory standards on accessibility in all areas of daily life.

Accessible Formats and Communication Supports

If you require an accessible format or communication support, please contact Sue Walton at 705-526-4204, Ext. 225 or by email at swalton@tiny.ca.  Township of Tiny documents are available in alternate formats upon request. We are pleased to consult with you on how best to meet your needs. 

Accessibility Standards

Ontario now has accessibility standards in five areas:

  • customer service
  • employment
  • information and communications
  • transportation
  • design of public spaces

The Township is committed to meeting the requirements of the AODA and the above standards.
