We want everyone who visits our website to feel welcome and to be able to access our information and services with ease.
1. Our Commitment
We strive to make our website usable for people of all abilities and to provide an inclusive digital experience.
We view accessibility as an ongoing effort and continually work to improve the usability of our website.
2. Conformance Standard
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines “WCAG” 2.1 Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium “W3C”.
These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities.
Our accessibility efforts also reflect applicable legal requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act “AODA” in Ontario, Canada.
We also monitor developments such as the European Accessibility Act that may apply to our international audience.
3. Measures We Take
To support accessibility, we work to:
- Use clear and consistent page structure and navigation.
- Provide text alternatives for meaningful images.
- Maintain sufficient colour contrast for readability.
- Ensure the website can be navigated using a keyboard where possible.
- Use descriptive links and headings.
- Design content to be responsive across devices and screen sizes.

While we strive for WCAG 2.1 AA conformance, some content on our website may not yet be fully accessible.
Areas we continue to work on may include third-party embedded content such as maps, forms, chat tools, and social media feeds, certain documents, and older content.
We are committed to addressing these areas over time.
