Volunteer AODA Training

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 [email protected] or handed in to a Board member on Tuesday or Thursday riding nights.

PARD's Charitable Registration No. 11909 1759 RR0001

PARD Therapeutic Riding operates on the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg, covered by the Williams Treaties. We honour the enduring presence of the Anishinaabeg, including Curve Lake First Nation, Hiawatha First Nation, and Alderville First Nation, and recognize the stewardship of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Turtle Island.
We are grateful for the opportunity to gather, learn, and ride on this land. As an organization dedicated to accessibility, wellness, and community, we recognize that reconciliation requires more than words. We commit to ongoing learning, listening to Indigenous voices, and aligning our values of inclusion and care with the principles of truth and reconciliation.
