    A Handbook and Self Assessment Tool
  • Reviewing Plans of Subdivision for Accessibility
    The purpose of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act is to improve opportunities for persons with disabilities to participate fully in all aspects of life. This includes ensuring that everyone has access to public spaces. The Planning Act now requires planning approval authorities to have regard for accessibility issues when reviewing applications for plans of subdivision. This information sheet offers guidance on features in subdivisions that could improve accessibility.
