Accessibility policy

1.0 STATEMENT AND SCOPE OF COMMITMENT

The Accessibility for Ontarian’s with Disabilities Act, 2005 (“AODA”) is a Provincial Act with the purpose of developing, implementing and mandating accessibility standards in order to achieve accessibility for persons with disabilities, with respect to goods, services, facilities, accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises.

At TKL Group, we strive to provide an open and accessible environment for everyone who works at or visits our offices. It’s our policy to follow the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity that are outlined in the AODA.

TKL Group is committed to treating all people in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. We believe in integration and equal opportunity. We are committed to breaking down barriers and increasing accessibility for persons with disabilities in areas of customer service, information and communications, and employment, in accordance with the AODA.

TKL Group will develop and maintain an accessibility plan outlining the company’s strategy to improve opportunities and accessibility for persons with disabilities.

The Accessibility Standards Policy that we’ve put in place applies to:
