The AFHT must meet the requirements of accessibility standards established by AODA regulations. Ontario Regulation 429/07 – Accessibility Standards for Customer Service – apply to every designated public sector organization and to every other person or organization that provides services to members of the public or other third parties and that has at least one employee in Ontario. This policy establishes the accessibility standards for Customer Service for AFHT, in accordance with the requirements of Ontario Regulation 429/07.
Algonquin Family Health Team (AFHT) is committed to providing a respectful, welcoming, accessible, and inclusive environment in the provision of services for employees, patients/clients and visitors.

This policy applies to all AFHT employees who deal with the public or other third parties as well as persons developing policies, procedures and practices pertaining to the provision of services to the public or other third parties, whether they do so as employees, agents (Service Providers) or otherwise.
