Accessibility

The aim of web accessibility is to "provide equal access and equal opportunity to those with disabilities. An accessible web can also help people with disabilities more actively participate in society." (W3C, WAI)

CanAssist believes that everyone, including people with disabilities, should be given equal opportunity to participate fully in society. Therefore, web accessibility is of critical importance to CanAssist and we strive to ensure that our website is accessible for all.
