Last updated: 16 September 2026

The deadline

When

December 31, 2026. That is the date the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) sets for the current private-sector compliance report.

Who files

Private-sector organisations in Ontario with 20 or more employees.

The enforcement body and the reporting cycle are listed in our accessibility enforcement directory. The wider Canadian picture, including the federal Accessible Canada Act, is in the compliance guide.

What Pallas does before the date

Pallas is an accessibility remediation platform for organisations that enterprise vendors have priced out.

Find

Scans web pages and PDF, DOCX, and PPTX documents against WCAG 2.2 criteria. Automated scanning covers the criteria that can be machine-tested; a manual review checklist covers the rest, because most of WCAG cannot be verified by software. Pallas scans server-rendered pages; support for JavaScript-rendered applications is on the roadmap.

Fix

Routes every finding through a workflow: status, owner, comments, evidence attachment, retest, and an exceptions register.

Prove

Keeps a tamper-evident audit log (SHA-256) of what you scanned, what you found, and what you fixed, and generates a VPAT 2.5 / ACR from the platform.

Procurement documents

The VPAT, DPA, security whitepaper, and the rest of the documents a procurement review asks for are published on the Procurement page.
