Accessibility

Greenspace is committed to providing equal access and participation for people with disabilities. By providing a barrier-free environment, we treat all people in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. We’re committed to meeting the needs of people with disabilities and will ensure that we comply with the Standards under the AODA in a timely fashion.

This Policy applies to all Greenspace’s services that are provided to the public and our staff, who are accountable for providing accessible services to persons with disabilities.

We will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that take into account their needs. This includes providing information on how to access our products, services or facilities in accessible formats. We will work with the person with a disability to determine what method of communication works best for them.

People with disabilities may use their personal assistive devices when accessing our products, services or facilities. In cases where the assistive device presents a significant and unavoidable health or safety concern or may not be permitted for other reasons, other measures will be used to ensure the person with a disability can access our products, services or facilities.

We are committed to welcoming people with disabilities who are accompanied by a service animal on the parts of our premises that are open to the public and other third parties. We will also ensure that staff are properly trained in how to interact with people with disabilities who are accompanied by a service animal.

We are committed to welcoming people with disabilities who are accompanied by a support person. Any person with a disability who is accompanied by a Support Person will be allowed to enter Greenspace’s premises with his or her Support Person. At no time will a person with a disability who is accompanied by a Support Person be prevented from having access to his or her Support Person while on our premises.

In the event of a planned or unexpected disruption to services or facilities for people with disabilities, Greenspace will notify those affected promptly. This notice will include information about the reason for the disruption, its anticipated length of time, and a description of alternative facilities or services, if available.

We notify employees, job applicants and the public that accommodations can be made during recruitment and hiring. We notify job applicants when they are individually selected to participate in an assessment or selection process that accommodations are available upon request, and where required we consult with the applicants and provide or arrange for suitable accommodation.

We notify successful applicants of policies for accommodating employees with disabilities when making offers of employment. We notify staff that supports are available for those with disabilities as soon as practicable after they begin their employment.

We will consult with employees when arranging for the provision of suitable accommodation in a manner that takes into account the accessibility needs due to disability. We will consult with the person making the request in determining the suitability of an accessible format or communication supports.

Our performance management, career development and redeployment processes take into account the accessibility needs of all employees.
