Service Dog Law in Ontario, Canada

My doctor has recommended that I obtain and train a service dog to help me manage symtoms of a medical disability. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, service dogs (other than guide dogs for the blind) are not granted public access in Ontario. This is a record of relevant laws I have found, and correspondence trying to get explicit protection for service dogs and their users.
