Mitch understands that we have a responsibility for ensuring a safe, dignified, and welcoming environment for everyone. We are committed to ensuring our organization’s compliance to the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulations (the IASR) and incorporating them into our policies, procedures, equipment requirements, training, and best practices. We will review these policies and practices regularly and as organizational changes occur. In addition, we will strive to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities in a timely and effective manner.
Providing an accessible and barrier-free environment is a shared effort, and we are committed as an organization to working with the necessary parties to make accessibility for all a reality.
