2. Areas described in section 5 of the Accessible Canada Act

Termont’s plan addresses the seven priority areas mandated by section 5 of the Accessible Canada Act. Each area is summarized below; the full Accessibility Plan 2026–2028 contains detailed baselines, barriers identified, planned actions and measurable targets.

2.1 Employment

Recruitment, retention, accommodation and career progression of persons with disabilities. Includes job-description language review, accessible interview procedures and reasonable-accommodation policy aligned with the Canadian Human Rights Act.

2.2 The built environment

Office, guard-house, training-room and customer-facing-area accessibility at 450 rue de Boucherville. Yard operations and active container-handling zones are restricted-access industrial sites; visitor accessibility focuses on dispatch, reception, washrooms and meeting rooms.

2.3 Information and communication technologies (ICT)

Public-facing website (termont.com) targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Driver-facing portals, container-tracking and appointment booking systems are being audited for keyboard navigation, contrast, screen-reader compatibility and form-label correctness.

2.4 Communication, other than ICT

Written communication, signage, public notices and customer-service interactions. Plain-language standards, multi-language support (EN/FR) and accessible-formats commitment (see section 7).

2.5 The procurement of goods, services and facilities

Accessibility is a criterion in supplier selection where applicable (software licensing, training providers, public-facing-equipment vendors). Standard procurement contracts include an accessibility clause.

2.6 The design and delivery of programs and services

Customer-service programs (clerk dispatch, appointment desk, container inquiry) are reviewed for barrier-removal. Driver onboarding and safety briefings include accommodation pathways.

2.7 Transportation

As a terminal operator, Termont’s transportation scope covers the on-site movement of goods and the safe interaction with trucker, rail and vessel crews. Accessibility of guard-house procedures, kiosks and digital appointment processes is included.

3. Consultations

Persons with disabilities are consulted in the development, implementation and review of the accessibility plan. Termont’s consultation methods include:

  • Internal: Employee feedback survey (anonymous option) — every plan cycle, with quarterly check-ins for staff who self-identify as having disabilities.
  • External: Engagement with disability-advocacy organizations and customer feedback received via the channels listed in section 4.
  • Sector: Coordination with SSA Marine Canada’s accessibility working group and alignment with the consultation summary in the Squamish Terminal Accessibility Plan.

Consultation results inform the priority-area sections above and the next progress report.

4. Feedback Process

We welcome feedback on accessibility barriers and on the implementation of our plan. Feedback may be submitted anonymously. Personal information is collected only with your consent and is protected under the Privacy Act.

Acknowledgement: Termont acknowledges receipt of feedback in the same form it was received (email→email, phone→phone, mail→mail). Anonymous feedback is acknowledged via a public notice posted on this page when applicable.

Retention: Feedback is retained for at least 7 years per the Accessible Canada Regulations.
