I stand corrected. Apparently there are no specific limitations on the signage in terms of font face, case, or minimum size. Some of those requirements are specified under the trails regulations though (e.g. must be a sans serif font). Best practices for AODA written documents are avoid use of all caps/italics/bolding/underline, use a sans serif font (like Helvetica/Arial), a minimum of 12pt, and row spacing of 1.15pt. With the new consistency and font it actually looks like they are moving toward greater compliance not less.
