*The goal of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), 2005 is to create
standards to improve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities. At the time of printing, specific
accessibility requirements had not yet become law through the AODA Built Environment Standard.
The information included in this booklet may not provide sufficient detail for some trail users with
a disability. Where possible, certain features such as surface type have been included. Durham
Lives! and the Durham Region Economic Development and Tourism Department, recognize the
importance of accessibility where the physical environment is concerned. As AODA guidelines
become available, new information will be incorporated in future trails publications.
