AMI Accessibility Feedback Process
Overview

Acknowledgement of Feedback
When feedback is received the following actions will be taken:
A representative of AMI will contact the initiating party and discuss the feedback using a manner that takes into account any accessibility concerns if identified.
If remedial action is required, the feedback details will be distributed to the senior management team for review.
Where applicable, recommendations and advice may be sought from legal representation, the accounting/financial team, accessibility consultant(s), relevant associations which serve and support persons with disabilities, and/or members of the community with disabilities.
If action is to be taken, all policies, practices and procedures documents will be updated to reflect the corrective action and distributed.
Once a course of action has been identified, the initiating party will be contacted to inform them of the solution.
