Accessibility

The purpose of the Accessible Canada Act is to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to accessibility and to make Canada barrier-free by January 1, 2040. In accordance with this law, Midland Transport Limited has prepared and published an Accessibility Plan that outlines how it identifies, how it will remove, and how it will prevent barriers to accessibility in the workplace in several priority areas. 

We understand that developing a barrier-free environment takes time, and we are committed to continual barrier identification, removal, and prevention. Midland aims to increase accessibility by:
 
• Gathering feedback on accessibility from employees and external organizations;
• Providing stakeholders with clear information about the feedback process;
• Boosting organizational commitment towards creating a more accessible environment through understanding and education;
• Evaluating our recruitment practices, improving how we attract persons with disabilities to jobs in our company and the trucking and transportation industry;
• Creating a clear method for job candidates to request workplace accommodations;
• Improving knowledge and maximizing the possibilities of accessibility features in current and future IT equipment, programs, and systems;
• Implementing mechanisms to assess facility accessibility, procurement procedures, company programs, new initiatives, and ongoing services; and
• Ensuring documentation required for employees are available in alternate formats. 

Midland’s Plan was developed in recognition of the principles and priority areas as outlined in the Accessible Canada Act (Appendix A of 2023 Midland Accessibility Plan).
