Are your website and online documents ADA compliant?

What types of communication is required by the AODA?

In addition to in-person communication, this includes written documents, reports, brochures, forms and extends to multi-media tools, such as the City’s website. Accessibility is not just a matter of legal compliance. The A.O.D.A. requires the City to provide accessible formats for people with disabilities, upon request.

What is an accessible font?

The right font improves the legibility and readability of the document. For instructions on how to change the default font, go to Change the default font in Word.
