Accessible Website Practices
We want everyone who visits our website to have a positive and accessible experience. This page offers tips for optimizing your online experience and highlights steps we’ve taken to support digital accessibility.
Customize Your Device for a Better Experience
Your computer or browser may have features that help tailor your online experience to your needs. For example, you might adjust font sizes, zoom in on content, or switch to a colour scheme that’s easier to see.
Use the Latest Browser Versions
We recommend using an up-to-date web browser. Newer versions are typically more compatible with accessibility tools and offer better features for adjusting how content is displayed.
How We Support Digital Accessibility
Our website is designed with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in mind. These provincial and international standards guide us in creating content that is usable and understandable for everyone.
Here are a few ways we’ve made our site more accessible:
- Pages are structured so that text can be resized and styles adjusted in your browser, making it easier to read.
- Headings and layout are designed to help people using screen readers navigate content effectively.
- We aim to make all content straightforward and easy to use, regardless of the device or assistive technology someone may be using.
