The Ottawa Catholic School Board's Accessibility Committee works to promote the dignity and value of the whole person through identifying and addressing barriers for persons with disabilities among its students, staff and visitors. The committee was initiated in concordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) legislation and is comprised of representative members of employee groups and members at large who meet several times per year.

Accessibility Plan

The Board's official Accessibility Plan serves to fulfill its obligations to the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Ontario Disability Act (ODA) by establishing and implementing necessary practices and procedures. The Accessibility Plan is a “living document” that is continuously reviewed and sculptured to reflect the evolving needs of our staff, students and visitors. During the last several years, there have been a several initiatives at the Ottawa Catholic School Board to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to people with disabilities, and the Board continues to work towards providing full access to all Board properties by 2025.

Disruption of Service Notices

Many Board and school facilities are equipped with services that enhance accessibility, including service ramps and elevators. Occasionally, these services are rendered unavailable due to a malfunction or other interruption. In the event that one of these services is disrupted, the Board or school facility will post a Disruption of Service Notice inside the building, as well as on their website, in an effort to keep staff and visitors fully informed until service can be restored.

Disruption of Service Notices will be also posted here, and will be feautred as a News Alert/Advisory on our Board's homepage.
