There’s no need to fear the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act

It's true that Ontario's businesses will incur extra costs to comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). It's true that you will have to change the way you operate, expending more time, money and effort—at least initially. So maybe you're afraid of that. But consider that most people have no idea what not accommodating disability already costs Ontarians through taxes, health care and social services.
