Accessibility statement

Our commitment

This site is built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. That is the standard applied to Canadian federal government sites and the expectation set by Ontario’s Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

What we do to hold that standard

• Automated accessibility tests run against this site on every change, and a failure blocks the change from being published.
• Every image has alt text. Images that carry no information are marked as decorative deliberately, not by omission.
• Headings follow a single logical order. They are not used to make text larger.
• The site is operable by keyboard alone, with a visible focus indicator.
• Form fields have labels that assistive technology can read, and errors are described in words rather than by colour alone.
• There is no auto-advancing carousel or slideshow.

Tell us about a barrier

If any part of this site is difficult to use, we want to know. Describe the page, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology you were using if that is relevant.

Accessibility barriers are treated as same-business-day issues.
