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.

This actually has nothing whatsoever to do with service animals, but it does significantly decrease the challenge in finding housing with one.
