The Town of Smiths Falls is committed to creating an accessible environment by removing barriers for people of all abilities in our community. This includes Town staff, community and business partners, residents and visitors. 

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) is the law that sets out a process for developing, implementing and enforcing accessibility standards. 

The AODA requires all organizations to identify barriers, and remove them, in order to provide customer service that is more accessible to people who have disabilities.

These requirements apply to organizations that:

  • serve the public
  • provide goods, services or facilities to other businesses or organizations 
 Accessibility Advisory Committee
 The Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) is a legislated resident volunteer committee that advises Town Council on accessibility initiatives to address requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA).

The goal of the AODA is to identify, prevent and remove barriers to make Ontario accessible by 2025. The Committee will work with the Town to promote awareness and celebrate inclusion.
