Camps Committed to Inclusion Project

Do camps have to renovate their buildings?

  • The AODA (Design of Public Spaces Standard) does not apply

to a building’s physical structure.

  • The Ontario Building Code was amended to enhance

accessibility requirements. The effective date of the amendment was January 1, 2015.

  • Ontario’s Building Code is administered by the Ministry of

Municipal Affairs: http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/Page10546.aspx
