7th Year Accessibility Plan
Annual Accessibility Plan for the Nipigon District Memorial Hospital
September 2009 - August 2010
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) received Royal Assent in June 2005. The purpose of the legislation is to improve opportunities for people with disabilities and to provide for their involvement in the identification, removal and prevention of barriers to their full participation in the life of the province. Until all the new standards under the AODA are introduced as regulations, the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) remains in effect. To this end, the ODA requires each hospital to prepare an annual accessibility plan; to consult with persons with disabilities in the preparation of this plan; and to make the plan public.
This is the seventh accessibility plan (2009 - 2010) prepared by the Accessibility Working Group of the Nipigon District Memorial Hospital (hereinafter referred to as “Nipigon Hospital”). The plan describes the measures that the Hospital will take during the year (August 2009-September 2010) to identify, remove and prevent barriers to people with disabilities who live, work in or use the facilities and services of the Hospital, including patients and their family members, staff, health care practitioners, volunteers and members of the community.
