How we can help
The Accessible Canada Act is a federal law that aims to find, remove and prevent barriers facing people with disabilities. The Act applies to the federal government and to organizations regulated by the federal government.
About Us
The Accessibility Commissioner enforces the Accessible Canada Act and the Accessible Canada Regulations. The Accessibility Unit of the Canadian Human Rights Commission supports the Accessibility Commissioner in carrying out their responsibilities.
In the future, the Accessibility Commissioner will also receive complaints under the Act.
Tools for regulated entities
The Accessibility Unit is creating tools to assist organizations in meeting their obligations under the Act. These tools will be available on our website soon.
