Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)
Customer Service Policy
Cambridge Elevating is committed to diversity, inclusion and accessibility. Our core values are fundamental to the way we provide goods and services that respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities.
Our Commitment
We are committed to providing accessibility to people with disabilities and allowing them to benefit from the same services as other visitors in a manner that respects their dignity and independence.
Service Animals
Service animals are allowed anywhere the public is allowed. It is the responsibility of the person with a service animal to control the animal at all times. In the event a Cambridge Elevating partner or customer is allergic to animals, alternative arrangements will be negotiated.
Support Person(s)
Support people may enter Cambridge Elevating’s premises accompanied by a support person and may have access to that support person at all times.
Notice of Temporary Disruption
Cambridge Elevating will provide guests reasonable notice in the event of a disruption in the facilities or services. This notice will include information about the reason for the disruption, the anticipated duration and a description of alternative facilities or services, if available. We will try and give notice in case of an emergency disruption.
