Scathing report asserts the government has failed the roughly 2.9 million Ontarians with a disability — more than one-fifth its population
Ontario will fail to meet its goal of making the province accessible for people with disabilities by 2025 unless the government takes urgent action, a new report has found.
Donovan, who was appointed by the province in early 2022 to conduct a legislative review of the act, said little progress has been made since the law was passed in 2005. That stems from design flaws in "services, products, technology, buildings, infrastructure, careers, processes and human imagination," he said.
The review noted that previous reviews of the law — Donovan's is the fourth — also reported continuous failures, poor outcomes and painfully slow progress. "This includes breaking down barriers in the built environment, growing awareness and understanding about accessibility, increasing participation in the economy for people with disabilities, and increasing funding to programs to make Ontario barrier free," spokesman Wallace Pidgeon wrote in a statement.
