The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) is a provincial act to benefit all Ontarians by developing and implementing accessibility standards that identify and remove barriers for people with disabilities in key areas of daily living. The AODA is no ordinary piece of legislation.  It is an ambitious means to ensure the inclusion of people with disabilities in Ontario.

Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority's Accessibility Policy
Government of Ontario Accessibility Laws

Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR)
Ontario's Human Rights Code
Ontario's Building Code

If you require alternative formats of information, or additional support while accessing any SVCA service, please email our Accessibility Officer.

Accessible customer service

All Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority employees, volunteers, contractors, consultants and Board of Directors must complete AODA and Human Rights training.  To submit certification or request training, please contact our Accessibility Officer.

This training includes:

  • How to interact with people with various disabilities
  • How to interact with people who may use an assistive device or the assistance of a support person, guide dog, or other service animal to access goods and/or services at our office or properties,
  • What to do if a person with a disability is having difficulty accessing services.

Feedback​

SVCA welcomes comments on the provision of any goods or services to persons with disabilities. Feedback helps to identify areas where changes need to be considered and ways in which we can improve the delivery of accessible goods and services.

You may provide your feedback by telephone, e-mail, in person, or in writing. Staff will review your comments and, if requested, a response will be provided in the manner indicated.

You may also provide feedback using our online form, knowing that while it is intended to provide a consistent format for receiving feedback information, it is not meant to be the exclusive format for receiving feedback.
