Accessibility Policy

Providing goods, services or facilities to people with disabilities

TAG HR is committed to meeting its current and ongoing obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code respecting non-discrimination.

TAG HR understands that obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) and its accessibility standards do not substitute or limit its obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code or obligations to people with disabilities under any other law.

TAG HR is committed to complying with both the Ontario Human Rights Code and the AODA.

TAG HR is committed to excellence in serving all customers including people with disabilities.

Our accessible customer service policies are consistent with the principles of independence, dignity, integration and equality of opportunity for people with disabilities.

People with disabilities may use their personal assistive devices when accessing our goods, services or facilities.

In cases where the assistive device presents a significant and unavoidable health or safety concern or may not be permitted for other reasons, other measures will be used to ensure the person with a disability can access our goods, services or facilities.

We welcome people with disabilities and their service animals. Service animals are allowed on the parts of our premises that are open to the public.

When we cannot easily identify that an animal is a service animal, our staff may ask a person to provide documentation (template, letter or form) from a regulated health professional that confirms the person needs the service animal for reasons relating to their disability.

A service animal can be easily identified through visual indicators, such as when it wears a harness or a vest, or when it helps the person perform certain tasks.

A regulated health professional is defined as a member of one of the following colleges:

• College of Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists of Ontario
• College of Chiropractors of Ontario
• College of Nurses of Ontario
• College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario
• College of Optometrists of Ontario
• College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario
• College of Physiotherapists of Ontario
• College of Psychologists of Ontario
• College of Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Mental Health Therapists of Ontario

We welcome any person who may support our customer by means of communication, assisting with mobility, personal care or medical needs.

A person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to have that person accompany them on our premises.

In certain cases, TAG HR might require a person with a disability to be accompanied by a support person for the health or safety reasons of:

• the person with a disability
• others on the premises

Before making a decision, TAG HR will:

• consult with the person with a disability to understand their needs
• consider health or safety reasons based on available evidence
• determine if there is no other reasonable way to protect the health or safety of the person or others on the premises

TAG HR welcomes feedback on how we provide accessible customer service. Customer feedback will help us identify barriers and respond to concerns.

Customers will be notified of how to provide feedback through our website, taghr.com.

Customers who wish to provide feedback on the way TAG HR provides goods, services or facilities to people with disabilities can provide feedback in the following ways:

• email: info@taghr.com
• phone: 613-567-0222

TAG HR will make sure our feedback process is accessible to people with disabilities by providing or arranging for accessible formats and communication supports, on request.

Any policies of TAG HR that do not respect and promote the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity for people with disabilities will be modified or removed.
