AODA & Website Accessibility Compliance for London, Ontario Businesses

London anchors Southwestern Ontario's insurance and financial-services economy — Canada Life / Great-West Lifeco and a dense cluster of insurers, brokers and credit unions all run customer-facing portals that the IASR brings into scope. Add a large public-facing education sector (Western University, Fanshawe College and their thousands of supplier and spin-off firms), the London Health Sciences Centre health network, a growing downtown tech corridor along Richmond Row, and Masonville-area retail, and you have a city where many employers clear the 50-employee mark that triggers strict WCAG 2.0 AA — and where manufacturers and SaaS firms selling into the US also carry ADA exposure.

FAQ

AODA in London — common questions

What is the December 31, 2026 AODA deadline, and does it apply to my London business?
Ontario organizations with 20 or more employees must file an Accessibility Compliance Report (ACR) by December 31, 2026. The web obligation under the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) binds organizations with 50+ employees to WCAG 2.0 AA — the legal floor. Given London's insurance, education and healthcare employers, many sites here are squarely in scope. We audit to WCAG 2.2 AA as best practice and assemble your audit-ready conformance documentation so you can report in good faith. This is accessibility-engineering guidance, not legal advice — we work alongside your counsel.
Can't I just install a free accessibility widget or overlay on my London website?
We'd advise against relying on one. Overlays and widgets are a cosmetic JavaScript layer that independent testing shows catches only about 30–40% of WCAG issues, and courts have not accepted them as compliance. In 2025 the U.S. FTC fined one major overlay vendor US$1,000,000 for false compliance claims, and 456 sites that had a widget installed were still sued in the first half of 2025. We fix the actual source code instead — the kind of work that stands up to a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario complaint or, if you sell into the US, an ADA claim.
What does a PassProof accessibility audit and remediation cost for a London business?
Audits start at $1,500 and include manual screen-reader and keyboard testing — not just an automated scan — plus a prioritized remediation plan. Source-code remediation and accessible Shopify or B2B builds start at $6,000. For context, AODA has no private right of action, so the real exposure is an HRTO complaint, which typically costs $30,000+ to defend; the often-quoted $100,000/day corporate figure is a statutory maximum on conviction that is rarely applied. A recent audit and a documented good-faith file are your strongest defense.
Is PassProof a London-based agency?
We're a remote-first accessibility-engineering studio serving London and all of Ontario. That means you get specialist source-code remediation and accessible Shopify/B2B builds without the overhead of a local storefront, and we can guide you on Canadian funding such as the CSBFP (Canada Small Business Financing Program) and CanExport where it fits your project.
