Did you know?
Under the Accessible Canada Act (ACA), organizations must create accessibility plans that outline future barrier identification, removal, and prevention. Although these plans need not include records of removing barriers in the past, organizations must also create progress reports that show how they are implementing these plans. As an organization, are you leveraging these progress reports as public records of the steps your brand has taken to comply?
