Nova Scotia created the Nova Scotia Accessibility Act in 2017. It is similar to the Accessibility for Manitobans Act, and further supports the rights of People with Disabilities (PwD) under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The goals of the Act is to prevent and remove barriers for the delivery and receipt of goods and services, information and communication, public transportation and transportation infrastructure, employment, the built environment, education, and a prescribed activity or undertaking. The Act establishes an Accessibility Directorate and an Accessibility Advisory Board to support this work.
Nova Scotia's Accessibility Directorate has responsibility for administering the Accessibility Act and advancing disability issues within the government. This Act commits the government of Nova Scotia to develop accessibility standards for goods and services, information and communication, transportation, employment, the built environment and education.
