The Accessibility for Manitobans Act became law in 2013, making Manitoba the second province in Canada to introduce accessibility legislation. The act provides a process to identify, prevent and remove barriers.
The Accessibility for Manitobans Act consists of five standard building blocks for making real, measurable and effective changes to accessibility. Each regulated standard outlines specific requirements for organizations that have a responsibility to comply with The Accessibility for Manitobans Act.
The Manitoba Accessibility Office is committed to enacting legislation that improves the lives of people with disabilities, promoting and protecting disability rights and advocating for disability justice.
