accessibility & inclusion 

Engage Barrie Organization is committed to ensuring equal access and participation for people of all abilities.  We are committed to treating everyone in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence.  We believe in integration, and are committed to meeting the needs of people with disabilities in a timely manner.

 

We will do so by removing and preventing barriers to accessibility and by meeting our accessibility requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and Ontario's accessibility laws and Ontario Human Rights Code (the Code).
