Accessibility Customer Service Policy

This policy is designed to meet the standards and act in accordance with Regulation 191/11, Integrated Accessibility Standards under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005. These standards were developed to identify, remove and prevent barriers and increase accessibility for persons with disabilities in the areas of information and communications and employment. The mandate of the Standard is that all obligated organizations must take measures to provide accessible service to all customers, including customers with all types of disabilities.
Proactive Supply Chain Solutions is committed to providing goods and services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities. Proactive Supply Chain Solutions is also committed to ensuring our employees are educated and adhere to this policy.

Persons with disabilities may require the use of their own assistive devices to access services or goods. An assistive device is any device that is used, designed, made or adapted to assist people in performing a particular task. Proactive Supply Chain Solutions will take all reasonable measures to ensure goods and services are accessible to persons using assistive devices, including training employees in how best to support a customer using an assistive device. In the case the use of an assistive device poses a further challenge to the accessibility of goods and services or raises a potential safety concern, all reasonable efforts will be made to accommodate the individual, which may include using an alternative assistive device or providing the same service in a different manner.

  • The owner is responsible for maintaining control of the animal at all times.
