Assistive Devices

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 ensure that our staff are trained and familiar with various assistive devices we have on site or that we provide that may be used by customers with disabilities while accessing our services or facilities.

Communication

We communicate with people with disabilities in ways that take into account their disability.  This may include the following:

  • Reading aloud
  • Larger print
  • Html or Microsoft Word
  • Rephrasing in clear language
  • Writing, email or texting

We will work with the person to determine what method of communication works for them.

Service Animals

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 and third parties.

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