Accessibility

Universality is in the core of the World Wide Web, so we should embrace it and build experiences that are available to, and accessible by, everyone.

This work is ongoing and we continue to strive towards our goal of promoting accessibility and meeting the WCAG 2.1 level AA guidelines. While we try to do our best, we can make mistakes just like anyone. If you have feedback or ideas on how we might improve this experience, please let us know.

Accessibility features

While specific strategies for meeting accessibility standards are listed in the WCAG 2.1 specification, here’s a summary of high-level goals we commit to. This website:

• Uses plain, descriptive language
• Has semantic markup, enhanced by WAI-ARIA
• Is keyboard accessible, with visible focus elements
• Provides meaningful, alternative text for all media
• Has logical content and heading flow
• Identifies links that open in an external window
• Provides skip and back to top links
• Has sufficient colour contrast
• Maintains sufficient text size (that can be enlarged)
• Avoids sudden movements and jarring animation
• Ensures appropriate clickable elements for mobile devices
