Charities and non-profits with 20 or more employees have until June 30, 2021 to submit accessibility compliance reports. As reported in the October 2020 Charity & NFP Law Update, the deadline for submission was initially December 31, 2020, but a half-year extension was given to provide some relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Accessibility compliance reports are required under subsection 14(1) of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and must be submitted in order to meet the Act’s current accessibility requirements. Failure to complete accessibility compliance reports by the extended June 30, 2021 deadline could result in enforcement action, including financial penalties. To assist organizations with completing and submitting the report, instructions are available online from the Government of Ontario.
