The provincial government has appointed Dean Mayo Moran, SJD 1999, to head a comprehensive review of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), which governs the accessibility standards for customer service, information and communications, employment, transportation and the design of public spaces.

It became law in 2005, and its first review was completed in 2010. The government has set a goal to make Ontario fully accessible by 2025, and says the dean's review will help it achieve this goal.

“Equality is one of our most fundamental values and I am pleased to contribute to making our province a place where everyone has a chance to succeed,” said Moran. “That's why I am delighted to lead a review of this very important legislation and I look forward to this significant undertaking.”
