Multi-Year Accessibility Plan

March of Dimes Canada is in full compliance with current standards of the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) Policy, Regulation 191/11, under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) and Accessibility for Manitobans Act. In doing so, we affirm our commitment to providing quality services in a manner that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities.

The multi-year initiatives set out in this plan continue the foundational work of previous plans and incorporate ongoing actions to advance accessibility. The current plan covers a five-year period 2024-2029.

The initiatives fall under five key areas:

General requirements
Equitable customer service
Accessible information and communications
Inclusive employment
Barrier-free facilities

In alignment with our:

Purpose: Champion Equity; Empower Ability;
Vision: An inclusive, barrier-free society for people with disabilities and;
Mission: To be Canada’s leading service provider, resource and advocate, empowering people living with disabilities to live and thrive in communities nationwide,

and guided by Chief Accessibility and Chief People Officers, MODC will continue to provide inclusive programs, services, employment and volunteer opportunities that respects dignity, advances independence and fosters barrier-free participation of persons with disabilities.
