The Ontario Courts Accessibility Committee is asking individuals who have a disability and have used an Ontario courthouse to take a survey on their experience.
The committee, which gives advice on improving accessibility for people with disabilities in Ontario courts, said it hopes to learn about barriers people with disabilities have faced in a courthouse, as well as any accessibility features, services or accommodations that were provided and were helpful to people with disabilities.
The committee said it would also like to hear from others who want to comment on the courthouse experience of a person with a disability, such as family members, support workers, lawyers and paralegals, or judicial officials.
The committee said it will use all information obtained to help improve services to people with disabilities across Ontario in the future.
A French-language version of the survey can be found here.
