The ODA requires all municipalities to prepare accessibility plans on an annual basis. The plans must be developed in consultation with people with disabilities and/or the accessibility advisory committee and made available to the general public (refer to section 11 and section 12, if applicable). Plans must identify barriers in by-laws, policies, programs, practices and services that affect people with disabilities and steps to be taken over time to remove identified barriers and prevent new ones. Municipalities may choose to incorporate the preparation of annual accessibility plans as part of their regular calendar planning and budget process.
