Ensuring Compliance
with AODA

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) sets the standards for creating inclusive environments for people with disabilities in Ontario. As part of the drive to make all public spaces accessible by 2025, the AODA has specific regulations regarding entrances and bathrooms, which are critical areas for ensuring full accessibility. As the 2025 deadline for full accessibility approaches, Ontario businesses must ensure their premises comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Ventri Door Technologies specializes in providing automatic door solutions to help businesses in Southwestern Ontario meet and exceed AODA standards for front entrances and accessible bathrooms.
