The Government of Ontario passed the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act in 2005. Its goal is to make Ontario accessible for people with disabilities by 2025, by creating and enforcing accessibility standards.
One of the requirements of this regulation is that all organizations must provide training to employees, volunteers and others on the requirements of the regulation as it relates to their duties. As a volunteer of PARD, you will need to be trained on the all of the following:
Part 1: Customer Service Standard
Part 2: General Requirements
Part 3: Ontario Human Rights Code as it relates to people with disabilities
Modules can be viewed as a video or downloaded in a text version. The links are below and we ask that you complete all sections of the training and then print and complete the Confirmation of Training form. Training forms can be scanned and emailed to pardtherapeuticriding@gmail.com or handed in to a Board member on Tuesday or Thursday riding nights.
