Under this landmark legislation, the government of Ontario will develop accessibility standards that will identify, remove and prevent barriers for people with disabilities in key areas of daily living. The standards will apply to private and public sector organizations across Ontario.

TOARC Employment Standard Policy: Recruitment Process Accessibility
Dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity.
TOARC will include on all public job postings that accommodation may be available for job applicants with disabilities. Upon request, for the interview process and for other candidate selection methods, applicants will be informed that these accommodations are available. Where an accommodation is requested, TOARC will consult with the applicant and provide or arrange for suitable accommodation. Successful applicants will be made aware of TOARC’s policies and supports for accommodating people with disabilities. TOARC prides itself on being an inclusive workplace, and for the purpose of transparency, will indicate in each job posting which physical requirements and capabilities are required, particularly as most roles involve extensive travel and fieldwork, as well as navigation through rough terrain.
