Assistive Devices Compliance
People with disabilities may use their personal assistive devices when accessing our goods, services or facilities.
In cases where the assistive device presents a significant and unavoidable health or safety concern or may not be permitted for other reasons, other reasonable measures can be discussed to ensure the person with a disability can access our goods, services or facilities.

Services 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 – example the reception and office.
When we cannot easily identify that an animal is a service animal, our staff may ask a person to provide documentation (template, letter or form) from a regulated health professional that confirms the person needs the service animal for reasons relating to their disability.
Support Persons Policy
A person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to have that person accompany them on our premises.
