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 writing to me regarding legal provisions for service dogs that assist the visually impaired. I have also received a copy from John O'Toole, MPP for Durham. Your concerns are important to me.

I appreciate the issues you raised. As they will also interest the Honourable Michael Bryant, Attorney General, I have passed along a copy of your correspondence to him for his information.

Thanks again for writing. Your input on any provincial issue is always welcome. My colleagues and I look forward to continuing to work with you and your fellow Ontarians to meet your priorities and deliver the results you deserve.

Yours truly,



Dalton McGuinty
Premier



c: The Honourable Michael Bryant
John O'Toole, MPP, Durham

This letter really upset me. It's not surprising that I got a form letter, though it would have been nice if I had either gotten a form letter promptly or a non-form letter with well over a month's delay. What really infuriates me is that whoever answered on behalf of the premier got the vituperated issue wrong!!!
