Dear Christoff,
Disabiliity acess as required by the Candaian Carter of humand rights and
feeedoms is written into the building code - that is the standard which all
new buildings must meet. This is a legally binding requirement.
http://www.odacommittee.net/ODA_Bill_125_gov1.html
In the above web site you will find a revision of the Ontario building code
currently being contemplated (Other Provinces of Canada are similar) - the
object is to further increase access for people with disabilities.
