In 2018, British Columbia proposed the British Columbia Accessibility Act, otherwise known as Bill M 219. The act facilitates the implementation of accessibility standards in the province, aiming for an accessible British Columbia by 2024. This goal is in line with the Government of British Columbia’s earlier 2014 ‘Accessibility 2024’ plan, which includes an accessible internet and WCAG 2.0 AA web standards.
The British Columbia Accessibility Act had its first reading in May 2018.
