The Accessible Canada Act, a federal law established in 2019, aims to identify, eliminate, and prevent barriers encountered by individuals with disabilities. To achieve a barrier-free Canada by 2040, the Act mandates that federally regulated private employers with 100 or more employees must have prepared and published their initial Accessibility Plans by June 1, 2023. Employers with 10 to 99 employees have until June 1, 2024, to comply. For a summary of the Act, visit the Government of Canada website.
