AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act)
The AODA is an Ontario law that requires larger organisations to make their public websites meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA.
The AODA (2005) set out to make Ontario barrier-free. Its Information and Communications standard requires designated organisations to bring their public-facing websites and web content up to WCAG 2.0 Level AA.
Public-sector organisations and private/non-profit organisations in Ontario with 50 or more employees.
WCAG 2.0 Level AA on public websites and web content, plus periodic accessibility compliance reports to the province.
The WCAG 2.0 AA requirement for large organisations took effect on 1 January 2021 and is now enforceable.
Ontario can levy administrative penalties for non-compliance, and organisations must file compliance reports confirming their status.
