Purpose Advisor Solutions Inc.(“PAS”) is committed to meeting the needs of its employees and customers with disabilities and fulfilling its current and ongoing obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (“AODA”). Under AODA, the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (“IASR”) establishes standards to address barriers that people with disabilities face in the areas of information and communications, employment, transportation, and the design of public spaces. PAS understands that AODA andIASR do not replace or limit its obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code (“Code”) and work together with the Code. The purpose of this policy is to outline PAS’ responsibilities under AODA and IASR.
This policy governs the provision of services by PAS.
As required by AODA for organizations with more than 50 employees in Ontario, the Multi-Year Accessibility Plan outlines the steps that PAS has taken and will take to remove barriers to accessibility from the workplace. As required by law, PAS will review and update the plan every 5 years and will be posted on the PAS website. PAS will also provide a copy of the plan in an accessible format upon request.
In accordance with the IASR, PAS will make information and feedback processes accessible to persons with disabilities. PAS will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that take into account their disability. When asked, we will provide information about our organization and its services, including public safety information, in accessible formats or with communication supports.
Web Content
Web content on the PAS website will meet international-recognized Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA website requirements in accordance with the IASR, unless it is not practicable to do so.
Training
PAS will train all employees on the requirements set out by the IASR. This training will be provided as soon as practicable to new employees after starting their employment with PAS. When changes are made to the policies or standards, the training will be updated as required.

Notify employees, potential hires and the public that, when requested, accommodations can be made during the recruitment and hiring process;
