Multi-Year Accessibility Plan (2023 – 2028)

SM Cyclo of Canada, Ltd. (Sumitomo Drive Technologies) strives to meet the needs of its employees and customers with disabilities and is working hard to remove and prevent barriers to accessibility. We are committed to treating all people in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. We believe in integration and equal opportunity.

SM Cyclo of Canada, Ltd. (Sumitomo Drive Technologies) is committed to fulfilling our requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005. This accessibility plan outlines the steps we are taking to meet those requirements and to improve opportunities for people with disabilities.

Our plan shows how we will play a role in making Ontario an accessible province for all Ontarians.

The plan is reviewed and updated at least once every 5 years.

We will train every person as soon as practicable after being hired and provide training in respect of any changes to the policies. We maintain records of the training, including the names of the individuals trained and the dates on which the training was provided.
