    Restaurant Accessibility
  • For a definition of what constitutes a fully barrier-free and wheelchair-accessible location, review the Accessibility Guidelines below.

    Accessibility Guidelines

    When identifying your food establishment as accessible for people with physical disabilities, please use the following checklist.

    To qualify as a fully barrier-free and wheelchair-accessible location, your venue should comply with all items listed below. 

    Entrance/Interior

    • All pedestrian routes to and from the main entrance and exit should provide a level path or ramp.
    • Main entrance and exit doors should be a minimum of 915 mm wide to allow for safe passage of persons who use mobility aids including wheelchairs or scooters.
    • Glass doors should be clearly visible when closed.
    • All door-opening hardware should be easy to grasp and use. Automatic door openers are recommended wherever possible.
    • Aisle spaces between furniture, equipment or other fixed objects should be wide enough to allow a person using mobility aids to pass.
    • If the program/activity is not held at entrance level, there must be an accessible elevator or ramp to the floor where the activity is being held.

    Public Washrooms

    • Public washrooms should have a door entrance of at least 915 mm wide.
    • The washroom stall should also have an entrance of at least 915 mm wide and the stall should have grab bars installed by the toilet.
    • There should be at least one barrier-free sink (knee clearance of 735 mm below the vanity counter) with lever faucets.

    The Accessible Customer Service Standards established under the Province of Ontario's accessibility legislation (AODA) requires that goods or services be provided in a manner that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities.

    In its goal to become barrier-free, the Town of Georgina has made many accessibility improvements and will build on these achievements as both the private and public sectors prepare to comply with accessibility standards set under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005.
