David C. Onley Award for Leadership in Accessibility

Do you know an individual or an organization who has worked to create opportunities and break down barriers for Ontarians with disabilities?

The David C. Onley Award for Leadership in Accessibility remains open for nominations until February 26, 2021.

There are four award categories:
the Employee Engagement Award
the Role Model Award and
the Youth Leadership Award
Honour Roll Award

The Employee Engagement, Role Model, and Youth Leadership categories are all individual awards, with each recipient receiving an award of $5,000.

The Honour Roll category (formally known as the Champion Award) recognizes organizations that show leadership in integrating and providing barrier-free working conditions for people with disabilities and is compliant with the regulations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005.

The awards were created in 2014 to honour the province’s first Lieutenant Governor with a physical disability.
