The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) was passed by the Ontario legislature with the goal of creating standards to improve accessibility across the province.  The AODA allows the government to develop specific standards of accessibility that are designed to help make Ontario more accessible.  One of the specific standards that has been developed, and made law, is the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service Regulation.  It came into effect on January 1, 2008.
