Built Environment Accessibility Plans

The Built Environment Accessibility Standard Regulations are part of Nova Scotia's commitment to accessibility under the Accessibility Act. The goal is for Nova Scotia to be accessible by 2030. The standard sets out requirements that organizations must follow to remove and prevent barriers in the built environment. The built environment includes the spaces where people live, work, learn, and play.
