All businesses will be directly affected by new Ontario rules governing how you, in every aspect of your business, must accommodate people with disabilities. 

A wide range of new rules is being created that will affect how you hire and manage your employees; communicate to your employees and customers, clients, suppliers; change or renovate your buildings and internal structures; and deliver quality customer service, all with the laudable intention of providing an appropriate working and business environment for people with disabilities. 

Currently, rules governing Employment practices are open for public review and comment. The deadline for review is April 15, 2009.
