Accessibility

The Calgary Legal Team is committed to creating an inclusive digital environment that serves all users, regardless of their abilities or how they access our website. We recognize that accessibility is not just about technical compliance but about ensuring everyone can effectively engage with our content and services.

Our approach to accessibility begins with designing our website with diverse users in mind, acknowledging that people interact with digital content in different ways. We strive to maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards throughout our website, providing clear navigation and content structure to reduce cognitive load. We ensure sufficient color contrast for text and interactive elements, implement proper heading structures and semantic HTML for screen reader compatibility, design our interactive elements to be accessible via keyboard navigation, and provide alternative text for images that convey information.

We view accessibility as an ongoing commitment rather than a one-time implementation. Our website undergoes regular testing and improvements to enhance usability for all visitors. We consider various scenarios including users with visual impairments who may use screen readers or require high-contrast text, users with motor limitations who may rely on keyboard navigation or voice commands, users with cognitive disabilities who benefit from clear, consistent layouts and straightforward language, and users experiencing temporary limitations such as using the site in bright sunlight or in situations where they cannot use audio.

If you encounter any accessibility barriers on our website or have suggestions for improvement, we encourage you to reach out through our Website Feedback Form or through any of the contact channels listed at the end of these Terms. Your feedback helps us create a better experience for everyone.

The Calgary Legal Team is dedicated to continuous improvement in making our digital services accessible and inclusive, reflecting our commitment to serving all members of our community with dignity and respect.
