Heyyy Lantana!! We missed each other as we were both in Ottawa on the same time!!! It would've been sooo nice to meet you and your husband, KingCobra and I would've larrvved to meet you, too as well!! There's always a next time!! *winksa* You asked about a Canadian Disabilities Act, each province has their own disability act. Ontario has its own and it's called "Ontario Disabilities Act".
It's more direct with each city in Ontario. Whenever there's a barrier for each handicap, the ODA works directly to resolve that barrier. The ODA is for the Deaf, blind, physically-challenged and so on.
