Accessibility Plan

Stevens is committed to providing an environment that is inclusive and that provides accessibility to all employees, job applicants, customers, vendors, suppliers and visitors, in accordance with AODA and other applicable accessibility legislation in other Canadian provinces. Stevens commits to providing accommodation for needs related to the grounds of the Ontario Human Rights Code, unless to do so would cause undue hardship, as defined by the Ontario Human Rights Commission’s Policy on disability and the duty to accommodate, including the applicable accessibility legislation in other Canadian provinces.

Accommodation will be provided in accordance with the principles of dignity, individualization, and inclusion. Stevens will work cooperatively, and in a spirit of respect, with all partners in the accommodation process.

Stevens is dedicated to:

• a) Ensuring that our employment practices, policies, and procedures are free from discrimination and barriers and are accessible to all employees, job applicants, customers, vendors, suppliers and visitors including those with disabilities.
• b) Providing accommodation, to the extent required by law, to individuals with disabilities to enable them to fully participate in the employment process and to perform their job duties effectively.
• c) Engaging in an interactive process with employees, job applicants, customers, vendors, suppliers and visitors to identify appropriate accommodations based on individual needs to the extent it does not constitute an undue hardship.
• d) Complying with the accessibility standards and requirements set forth by AODA and the applicable accessibility legislation in other Canadian provinces.
