Info

These updates are not required to be submitted to government. They are distinct from the accessibility compliance reports that obligated organizations are required to file to indicate their compliance with the regulation. In these updates, organizations can announce measures that they have put in place to reduce barriers to accessibility and to keep the public informed of their progress. All designated public sector organizations must make their annual status update available to the public by posting it on their website, if they have one, and providing the update in accessible format, upon request.
