Provincial Scan
Please note that CDAC does not currently have the funding and resources to maintain current updates on provincial / territorial accessibility legislation. We recommend that you contact accessibility and human rights groups in your area.
The following scan of accessibility legislation and guidelines was done in 2016. At that time, CDAC reviewed provincial documents for how they included the accessibility needs of people with communication disabilities.
