AODA Signage FAQ
Does my business need AODA signs?
Yes. All Ontario businesses open to the public must have accessible signage. This includes offices, retail stores, restaurants, medical facilities, and any public-facing space.
What signs require braille?
Permanent room identification signs (washrooms, offices, meeting rooms), exit signs, floor numbers in stairwells, and elevator floor indicators all require Grade 2 Braille.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 5-7 business days. Rush orders (2-3 days) available for an additional fee. Local Niagara pickup can be faster.
Can you do a compliance audit?
Yes. We offer site visits in the Niagara region to assess your current signage and provide a quote for full AODA compliance.
Why This Matters for Your Business
Professional signage is the most visible investment a business can make. In the Niagara Region, where foot traffic and drive-by visibility are essential for local businesses, the right sign can generate thousands of impressions daily at a fraction of the cost of digital advertising.
