After the completion of a public consultation process, new accessibility amendments have been added into Ontario's Building Code. If you'll recall, a working group of community members and the Social Planning Council of K-W collaborated to create a submission to the Building Code consultation and we're happy to see that this process is now complete. For more information on the new accessibility changes to the Building Code, please view the update on the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing website.

The Ontario Building Code regulates all new construction and major renovations in buildings. The right accessibility requirements will make sure that no new barriers are created.
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing asked for public input on the Building Code Accessibility Requirements. View the submission of the Social Planning Council Kitchener-Waterloo.
