For purposes of this Accessibility Plan, "Canadian Tire" means Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited and its family of companies including Canadian Tire Services Limited, Canadian Tire Bank, Canadian Tire Real Estate Limited, Mark's Work Wearhouse Limited (Mark’s), FGL Sports Ltd. (FGL), Canadian Tire Petroleum and PartSource. Canadian Tire also includes any successors or subsidiaries of the above-listed companies.[1]
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was adopted in 2005 with a goal of making Ontario completely accessible for individuals with disabilities by 2025. To reach this goal, businesses and organizations that provide goods and services to people in Ontario, are required to meet certain accessibility standards in 5 areas: (1) Customer Service; (2) Information and Communications; (3) Employment; (4) Transportation; and (5) the Design of Public Spaces.
Canadian Tire is committed to eliminating barriers and improving accessibility for persons with disabilities and to providing goods and services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities. In 2012 we implemented an Accessible Customer Service Policy to ensure that people with disabilities are given the same opportunity to access and benefit from our goods and services, in the same place and in a similar way as other customers.
The Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (“IASR”) under AODA, which incorporates the remaining 4 accessibility standards, requires us to establish, implement, maintain and document a multi-year accessibility plan which outlines our strategy to prevent and remove barriers for persons with disabilities through the requirements under the IASR.
The following accessibility standards are applicable to Canadian Tire under the IASR:
1. General Requirements
2. Information and Communications
3. Employment
4. Design of Public Spaces
In accordance with the IASR, Canadian Tire will:
· Establish, review and update this Accessibility Plan
· Post this Accessibility Plan on Canadian Tire’s public website at www.canadiantire.ca
· Provide this Accessibility Plan in an accessible format, upon request
· Review and update this Accessibility Plan at least once every 5 years
Purpose
The purpose of this Accessibility Plan is to outline Canadian Tire’s strategy to prevent and remove barriers to address the current and future requirements set out under the IASR.
Training
Commitment:
We are committed to implementing a process to ensure that all employees, volunteers, third party contractors who provide goods, services and facilities on behalf of Canadian Tire, and persons participating in the development and approval of Canadian Tire’s policies, are provided with appropriate training on the requirements of the IASR and on the Ontario Human Rights Code as it pertains to persons with disabilities, and are provided with such training as soon as practicable.
Planned Action:
In addition to the training we provide to our employees under the Accessibility Standard for Customer Service, we will provide training to our employees, volunteers, persons who participate in developing the organization’s policies and other staff members who provide goods, services or facilities on behalf of Canadian Tire on the requirements of the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation and on the Human Rights Code as it relates to persons with disabilities. Training will be provided in a way that best suits the individual’s actual duties.
Since January 1, 2015 wee complete the required training of our employees, volunteers, persons who participate in developing the organization’s policies and other staff members. In order to meet this obligation, we:
· Develop appropriate training content.
· Deliver training to employees, volunteers and others required to participate.
· Maintain a record of the training provided, including the dates that the training was provided and the number of individuals to whom it was provided.
· Ensure that training is provided on any changes to the prescribed policies on an ongoing basis.
Self-Service Kiosks
Commitment:
We are committed to eliminating barriers and improving accessibility for persons with disabilities and to providing goods and services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities.
Actions Taken:
Should we design, procure or acquire any self-service kiosks on or after January 1, 2014, we will have regard to the accessibility for persons with disabilities. We will ensure that any employees involved in the procurement or acquisition are apprised of the need to consider accessibility features in choosing the appropriate self-service kiosk.
Information and Communication Standards
Commitment:
We are committed to making company information and communications accessible to persons with disabilities. We will incorporate new accessibility requirements under the Information and Communication Standard to ensure that our information and communication systems and platforms are accessible and are provided in accessible formats that meet the needs of persons with disabilities.
Actions Taken:
1. Emergency Procedure, Plans or Public Safety Information
Effective January 1, 2012, public safety information that is prepared by Canadian Tire and made available to the public will be made available in an accessible format or with appropriate communication supports, as soon as practicable, upon request.
2. Accessible Websites and Web Content
In order to ensure all of our internet websites, and all content posted on those websites since January 1, 2012, is accessible, we are continually working to improve our digital assets and aim for all our digital properties to be WCAG 2.0 AA compliant.:
3. Feedback
Feedback regarding the way Canadian Tire provides goods and services to people with disabilities can be made by completing the feedback form, sending an e-mail to the store (form and address details available through customer service desk) or by speaking directly with a manager on duty.
4. Accessible Formats and Communication Supports
Where a request for an accessible format or for communication supports is received, we will:
· Consult with the individual making the request to determine their accessibility needs and what would be a suitable format or support.
· Provide the requested information in a timely manner.
