Accessibility Feedback Process

Introduction

As per the Accessible Canada Act (ACA), and described in the Accessible Canada Regulations, organizations must establish a feedback process in order to receive and process feedback on the manner in which the regulated entity is implementing its accessibility plan and the barriers encountered by persons that deal with the regulated entity.

Consequently, the Courts Administration Service (CAS) has established the feedback process below.

Feedback topics

People can provide feedback on:

• Accessibility barriers at CAS
• CAS’s Accessibility Plan

They can also provide suggestions for eliminating accessibility barriers.
