Our accessibility policies are consistent with the principles of independence, dignity, integration and equality of opportunity for people with disabilities.


Assistive Devices

People with disabilities may use their personal assistive devices when accessing our office facility. In cases where the assistive device presents a health/safety concern, we will make every attempt to use other measures to ensure the person with a disability can access our services or facility.

Communication

We will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that take into account their disability. These methods may include written communication for those with hearing disabilities, phone calls for those with visual disabilities as well as accommodating support persons or translators.

Service Animals

We welcome people with disabilities and their service animals. Service animals are allowed on the parts of our premises that are open to the public. If service animals are prohibited by another law, we will explain why the animal is excluded and discuss with the customer another way of providing goods, services or facilities.

Support Persons

A person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to have that person accompany them on our premises. In certain cases, VanMar might require a person with a disability to be accompanied by a support person for the health or safety of the person with a disability or others on the premises.

VanMar will provide accessible customer service training to all employees and volunteers, anyone involved in developing our policies as well as anyone who provides goods, services or facilities to customers on our behalf.

Feedback Process
