At the IFL, we want to ensure all our guests are supported and have full access to the services we offer. The following barrier-free accommodations are available:

• Reserved wheelchair parking by main entrance
• Automatic door access on all areas open to the public
• Barrier free access to all levels open to the public
• Large bold lettering on all English & French signage

Ontario has laws that set standards for accessibility, under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005. The first of these, which became law in 2008, are the Accessibility Standards for Customer Service (Ontario Regulation 429/07). These important standards are designed to create a barrier-free and accessible Ontario by 2025.
