ACCESSIBILITY

CCNM believes in equal opportunity and is committed to providing a barrier-free environment that allows all people to maintain their independence and dignity. As an organization, CCNM respects and upholds the requirements set forth under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (2005) and its associated regulations, and strives to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities in a timely and effective manner.

AODA – multi-year accessibility plan

The following plan (PDF) outlines the actions the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine will put in place to improve opportunities for people with disabilities in accordance with the requirements communicated under the Integrated Accessibility Standards, Ontario Regulation 191/11 (AODA).

CCNM has developed a multi-year plan that describes how, over time, the organization intends to become a more accessible organization and sets forth the principles of how CCNM provides service to and otherwise interacts with people with disabilities. The plan will be posted on the company website, reviewed and updated periodically by the Accessibility Council, at a minimum once every five years, and will be provided in an accessible format upon request.
