Churchill Park Jungle Run - Accessible-Designed Recreational Locations on Waymarking.com

People with disabilities represent a significant and growing part of our population. According to Statistics Canada, about 1.5 million Ontarians have disabilities - about 13.5% of the population. It is estimated that 20% of the population will have disabilities in two decades. In Cambridge that represents close to 25,000 people.

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA, 2005), which became law on June 13, 2005, provided the province with the mandate to develop, implement and enforce sets of accessibility standards. The AODA (2005) applies to both public and private sector organizations with one or more employees in Ontario that provide goods, service, facilities or accommodation to the public.
