20 Years Later: The (In)Accessibility of Ontario is a photography exhibition showcasing the shortcomings of the AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act) and the longstanding impacts on the d/Deaf and disabled community in Ontario, marking the 20th anniversary of its enactment. This exhibit will highlight barriers that the d/Deaf and disabled community face in accessing public spaces, and showcase how to remove these barriers and make spaces more accessible for everyone in our community.
