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.

Dear [legal name]:

Thank you for kindly copying me on your letter to Premier McGuinty concerning the need to broaden the definition of service dogs to include dogs that assist the disabled who are not blind. I appreciate the fact that you have brought this matter to my attention, and I would like to follow up.

I have taken the liberty of writing Premier McGuinty to ask that I be copied on his response. A copy of my correspondence to the Premier is enclosed.

Please keep in touch.

Yours truly,



John R. O'Toole, MPP
Durham
