OPS Accessibility<br />
Leadership Strategy<br />
The Ministry of Government and Consumer<br />
Services has the lead <strong>for</strong> developing the<br />
OPS Accessibility Leadership Strategy. An<br />
Accessibility Leadership Committee of ADMs<br />
has been established to guide the development<br />
of the initial multi-year plan and annual<br />
revisions/updates to ensure that it meets the<br />
requirements of the AODA and the needs of<br />
the OPS.<br />
The groundwork done during 2007-08<br />
includes: a review of corporate policies,<br />
including HR and employment policies, that<br />
have an impact on accessibility; assessment<br />
and analysis of OPS intranet sites; and<br />
an accessibility audit of representative<br />
government buildings. The Macdonald<br />
Block at 900 Bay Street, Toronto is getting<br />
an accessibility makeover, including the<br />
addition of accessible washrooms and<br />
elevators that announce the floors.
