What is AODA?
Lambton College is committed to meeting its obligations under the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and providing a safe and barrier free environment for all staff, students, and members of the public.
We recognize the value in creating an inclusive environment for everyone. A place where colleagues, clients, staff, and students are treated with dignity, respect, and equality and valued for their contributions to our team.
AODA Compliance

- Accessibility Standards for Customer Service
- Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation, which include:
- Accessibility Standards for Information & Communication
Accessibility Standards for Employment
Accessibility Standards for Transportation
Accessibility Standards for the Built Environment
