An inclined plane that allows wheelchair users and others to access buildings and navigate between different levels.

Designed to be accessible to persons with varying disabilities, including those using mobility aids. They include an accessible entrance, adequate maneuvering space, nearby accessible washrooms, tables with removable chairs and sufficient knee clearance, menus in alternate formats, and cafeteria or buffet counters that are reachable for mobility device users.

Places located outside where members of the public can sit at a table and eat (for example, outdoor food courts at amusement parks or picnic tables in parks). This includes accessible tables with enough clear space around and under so that people using a wheelchair or other mobility aid can easily access. Also, the ground leading to and under the accessible tables is level, firm and stable.

By law, you must allow a person with a disability to be accompanied by his or her support person while in the areas of your business that are open to the public. A support person is an individual hired or chosen by a person with a disability to provide services or assistance with communication, mobility, personal care, medical needs or with accessing goods, services or facilities. If you charge an admission fee at your business, you must let people know you charge an additional fee for a support person.

Can be identified by visual indicators (such as a vest or harness) or documentation from a regulated health professional confirming the animal is necessary due to a disability. In Ontario, service animals are allowed in all public spaces unless otherwise prohibited by law. A service animal is not a pet; it is trained to perform tasks to assist a person with a disability, such as guiding individuals with vision impairments, alerting to sounds for those with hearing impairments, assisting during seizures, retrieving items, or helping manage psychiatric and neurological disabilities. There are no restrictions on the type of animal used as a service animal in Ontario. If the animal is not easily identifiable, the person can provide documentation from a regulated health professional confirming the need for the service animal.

Accessible parking provides a place for people with disabilities to park and space to get in and out of their vehicles safely. It also provides access to the main accessible entrance and/or any other accessible entrances. Most users of wheelchairs need at least three feet of clearance to get in and out of their vehicles.
