Disability Framework

Foreword by the Director-General The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 makes discrimination in relation to a disability, unlawful. Legislation protects employees, prospective employees, volunteers, work experience students, contract workers and clients. It recognises that people with a disability have the same fundamental rights and should have the same opportunities as other people to participate in the workplace and in community life. The Library is committed to ensuring that people with disabilities have the same access to information and opportunities to participate in and contribute to its programs as other people in the community. This is an integral part of ensuring that the whole community can access the Library – a significant national cultural institution - and that the Library is recognised as an employer of choice.

Most platforms that businesses use are letting them down, says accessibility expert

On June. 30, 2021 Ontario is implementing the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) which requires businesses to meet accessibility guidelines or face hefty fines as repercussions. Siteimprove and Fable conducted a survey with 55 Canadians who said their disabilities affect how they browse or use websites. The results revealed that 63 per cent of respondents felt limited in their ability to use the internet when compared to those who do not have a disability. When confronted with barriers while shopping online, some respondents switched store brands, others even opted for shopping in person. Samuel Proux, an accessibility evangelist at Fable, is a screen reader user and an accessibility advocate who has a visual impairment himself.
