Accessibility
The purpose of the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA) is to improve opportunities for people with disabilities and to provide for their involvement in the identification, removal, and prevention of barriers to their full participation in life in the Province. To this end, the ODA mandated that each municipality prepare an annual accessibility plan, and the Town of Marathon's plan is available for download below:
