DCL Corporation is committed to providing accessible customer service in a way that respects the dignity, equality and independence of people with disabilities. We are committed to compliance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 and the Accessibility Standard for Customer Service.
Our Customer Service Policy and Plan (the “Policy and Plan”) will be available, upon request, in a format that recognizes the disability of the individual requesting the policy.
Access
DCL Corporation is committed to giving people with disabilities the same opportunity, the same services, in the same place and in a similar way as other members of the public. We will ensure equality of access by implementing this Policy and Plan and by considering requests for personal accommodations not already outlined in this Policy and Plan.
Our goods and services will be provided in a manner that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities, taking into account the needs of those persons.
Assistive Devices
We will ensure that appropriate staff members are trained and familiar with the various assistive devices that may be used by customers with disabilities while accessing our facilities. We will also allow people to use their own personal assistive devices when accessing our facilities to purchase goods or services of DCL.
Communication
We will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that take into account their disability, and will ensure that to the extent reasonable we will seek input of people with disabilities as to how they wish us to communicate with them.
Service Animals
A person with a disability who is accompanied by a service animal will be allowed to have the animal accompany them on our premises. Service animals are allowed on the parts of our premises that are open to the public.
Support Persons
A person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to have that person accompany them on our premises.
