Accessibility Policy

Numeris is committed to meeting its current and ongoing obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code respecting non-discrimination.

Numeris understands that obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) and its accessibility standards do not substitute or limit its obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code or obligations to people with disabilities under any other law.

Numeris is committed to complying with both the Ontario Human Rights Code and the AODA.

Numeris is committed to excellence in serving all customers including people with disabilities.

Our accessible customer service policies are consistent with the principles of independence, dignity, integration and equality of opportunity for people with disabilities.

ASSISTIVE DEVICES

People with disabilities may use their personal assistive devices when accessing our 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 facilities.

COMMUNICATION

We will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that take into account their disability. We will work with the person with a disability to determine what method of communication works for them.

We have updated our website and content on the site to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Level AA.

SERVICE ANIMALS

We welcome people with disabilities and their service animals. Service animals are allowed on the parts of our premises that are open to the public.

A service animal can be easily identified through visual indicators, such as when it wears a harness or a vest, or when it helps the person perform certain tasks. When we cannot easily identify that an animal is a service animal, our staff may ask a person to provide documentation (template, letter or form) from a regulated health professional that confirms the person needs the service animal for reasons relating to their disability.

If service animals are prohibited by another law, we will discuss with the customer another way of providing access to our facilities
