​ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

This statement was last updated on 2025 - 04 - 21

We at West Coast Speaks Health Society are working to make our site westcoastspeaks.ca accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We are continually working to improve the user experience for everyone and to apply the relevant accessibility standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. We have also customized our site to account for the following accessibilities: 

​​

  • Keyboard-navigable content

  • Descriptive alt text for images

  • Clear and consistent navigation

  • Sufficient color contrast for readability

  • Responsive design for screen readers and mobile devices

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing effort. Our team regularly reviews our website and content to identify and address accessibility barriers. We also welcome feedback from users to help improve the experience for everyone.

Requests, issues, and suggestions

If you find an accessibility issue on the site, or if you require further assistance, you are welcome to contact us through the organization's accessibility coordinator:
