• Since January 1, 2021, the AODA has required a business or non-profit organization with 50 or more employees to make its public websites accessible: web content posted after January 1, 2012 must meet the WCAG 2.0 Level AA success criteria, with some exceptions.

• An online transaction worth more than $50 is covered by Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, and the business must disclose certain information to the customer before the transaction is completed. Ontario.ca: online shopping
