BFC Accessibility Plan
BFC Accessibility Plan
The Brampton Flying Club is committed to meeting the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (Ontario Regulation 191/11). This plan outlines the measures BFC has taken and will continue to take to improve opportunities for persons with disabilities.
Our Principles
BFC's accessibility efforts are guided by four core principles that ensure equitable access to our services and facilities:
Dignity

Independence
We support persons with disabilities in doing things on their own, without unnecessary help or interference, to the greatest extent possible.
Integration
Persons with disabilities are able to benefit from the same services, in the same place, and in the same or similar manner as other members and visitors.
Equal Opportunity
Persons with disabilities are given the same opportunities, options, benefits, and results as others when accessing our services and facilities.
