According to the Canada Labour Code, it is mandatory for employers, unions, housing providers, and service providers to accommodate individuals with disabilities who are negatively impacted by a requirement, rule, or standard.
Duty to accommodate pertains to needs that are linked to grounds of discrimination.
Employment, housing, services, and facilities should be inclusive and must be adjusted to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities in a way that supports their integration and full participation.
It is important to note that there are situations where it is impractical to make accommodations because it would result in an excessive burden for an organisation.
