AODA Statement of Commitment
Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at Canada (AMJC) recognizes the importance of accessibility and acknowledges the requirement of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities (AODA).
AMJC recognizes that defining disability is a complex, evolving matter and the term “disability” covers a broad range and degree of conditions, visible or invisible.
For AMJC members and guests of the Jama’at who are disabled, this includes providing service in ways that:
- allows members and guests to maintain their independence and dignity;
- provides members and guests with disabilities with the same access to services as others.
In keeping with this commitment, AMJC will carry out the functions and responsibilities according to the AODA Customer Service Standard. On request, the policy will be available to anyone with reasonable notice, in an accessible format.
Communication
- We will communicate in ways that take accessibility into account.
- Our members will be trained on how to interact and communicate with people with various types of disabilities.
- The development of our website has been built based on AODA requirements.
Assistive Devices
- We are committed to serving people with disabilities who use assistive devices to obtain, use or benefit from any of our services.
Use of Service Animals and Support Persons
- We are committed to welcoming people with disabilities who are accompanied by a service animal
- members will be properly trained in how to interact with people with disabilities who are accompanied by a service animal.
- At no time will a person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person be prevented from having access to that support person while visiting any of AMJC’s affiliated locations.
Training for Staff
- All members will be provided training in accessible service.
- Member training will be upgraded when changes are made to policies, practices, and procedures.
