Large employers (organizations with 50 or more employees) must write down their accessibility policies and share them with the public, upon request.
Although this is a legal requirement for large organizations, organizations of all sizes can benefit from documenting their policies as a way of ensuring employees know the expectations going forward, or know where to look for a reminder.
Visit AccessibilityMB.ca , where you will find an employer handbook, policy template and other resources to support the Accessibility Standard for Customer Service.
Larger public sector organizations must make public events accessible, including meetings, hearings and consultations. Affected organizations include the Manitoba government, universities and colleges, school divisions, Crown corporations, regional health authorities and Manitoba’s 10 largest municipalities (Brandon, Dauphin, Flin Flon, Morden, Portage la Prairie, Selkirk, Steinbach, Thompson, Winkler and Winnipeg).
