As accessibility compliance deadline looms, CNIB, Ottawa firm partner to offer website audits to businesses

As accessibility compliance deadline looms, CNIB, Ottawa firm partner to offer website audits to businesses An Ottawa-based web design firm, Craft&Crew, has partnered with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) to assess the digital accessibility of Ontario organizations. The move comes ahead of the June 30 deadline for some Ontario businesses and nonprofits, as well as all public sector organizations, to submit an Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) compliance report. Private Ontario organizations with over 20 employees must submit an AODA compliance report by June 30.     The legislation, which is part of the province’s goal to make Ontario accessible by 2025, requires companies with over 20 employees to submit a compliance report that addresses accessibility standards pertaining to customer service, access to information, public transportation, employment and outdoor public spaces.

E-scooters on the road back to Calgary, but with new rules

Article content Calgary’s “micromobility” pilot started in 2018 with shared e-bikes from the company Lime. E-scooters from companies Lime and Bird started rolling through the city in 2019, with another operator, Roll, joining this year. In 2020, the three companies combined had nearly 3,000 e-scooters available across the city. It cost the city $163,000 to run the pilot over the past two years, but took in $177,000 in permit fees from scooter companies. But while Calgarians hopped on the scooters in droves, with more than 200,000 unique users over the past two years, not everyone was a fan. The city heard complaints about people riding recklessly on pathways and leaving scooters strewn across sidewalks and roads. In 2020, peace officers handed out 39 tickets and “numerous warnings” to people riding dangerously, and the city also worked with operators to fine users who parked improperly.

Manitoba added it has approved more than $1.2 million in these grants.  “We recognize that this holiday season is going to look a lot different for most us, and above all, the health and safety of Manitobans remains our first priority,” Cox said.
