The application period for this year’s EnAbling Change Program closed on February 17, 2012 at 11:59 p.m.

What the program funds

The Accessibility Directorate of Ontario will share project development and implementation costs, such as:

  • salaries for staff and consultants/contractors directly involved in the project
  • production of products, such as publications
  • development of a website or other informational materials
  • project administration and coordination.

Partners must contribute a minimum of 25 per cent of the total project cost in funds or in kind.

The Directorate will also share their expertise with successful organizations to support the success of the projects.

What the program does not fund

The EnAbling Change Program is not the same as the Government of Canada’s Enabling Accessibility Fund, which supports community-based projects across Canada that improve accessibility, remove barriers, and enable Canadians with disabilities to participate in and contribute to their communities.

The EnAbling Change Program does not fund:

  • building renovations (such as ramps, elevators, lifts and automatic door openers), equipment, or furniture
  • capital expenses
  • accessibility audits
  • operational expenses related to ongoing business activities
  • therapy programs, counselling or support groups
  • workplace accommodation or other accessibility measures already required under the Ontario Human Rights Code.
