The City of Hamilton’s two public golf courses have a terrific solution for would-be golfers with a physical challenge or disability who wish they could
still play golf.
Chedoke Civic Golf Club and King’s Forest Golf Club, a top-100 course in Canada, are looking to expand their single rider electric car program for 2011.

Building owners and employers face a couple of imminent deadlines for complying with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) even though most requirements for the private sector will be phased in over a longer period. This could also entail some guesswork for building owners who will
need to provide public safety information since the guidelines for accessible signage are in a separate regulation that isn’t yet publicly available.

SUMMARY
Today’s federal election is an important time to think about the accessibility of this October’s upcoming Ontario general election. When you go to vote in the federal election today, check if your polling station has any barriers to accessibility for voters with disabilities. If it does, then make sure Elections Ontario doesn’t use the same location for this fall’s Ontario general election.
