Many people are unaware that the Code takes precedent.

In a major step that will further establish Toronto as a centre of innovation in inclusive design, OCAD University is launching a two-year Master of Design
in Inclusive Design program. The goal is to cultivate a brain trust of people skilled in accessible technologies, then scatter them across sectors — everywhere from government to the arts — so that inclusion will become a habit rather than remaining an afterthought.

Within less than one year, most organizations will have to comply with the Customer Service Standard (CSS) of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The CSS applies to designated public sector organizations as of January 1, 2011. Commencing January 1, 2012, it will also apply to every other
organization that provides goods or services to members of the public or other third parties and that employs at least one employee in Ontario. Simply
put, most private sector employers must comply by January 1, 2012.
