Legislation

Accessibility laws across Canada differ from province to province, and in many cases are poorly defined for individuals being supported by Service Dogs. Only three Provinces (BC, AB, NS) have Service Dog Legislation and provide government issued ID cards to support qualified service dog handlers. NSD is working to improve and streamline access laws across Canada.
