Accessibility Features

Our website makes use of industry-standard techniques and best practices to provide the highest possible level of website accessibility for our users. These include:

  • Any and all information conveyed with colour is still readable if a user is unable to distinguish colour.
  • Any image used on our we site will contain a textual description that will be read out loud within your screen reader.
  • Link text or phrases have been rewritten to make sense when read out loud by a screen reader.
  • All font-sizes found on our website use relative units of measurement. This makes scaling the font-size of our website easier and more consistent.
  • In cases where tables have been used to present data, we’ve added controls for screen readers to access so they can properly communicate the information contained within back to the user.
  • Cascading Style Sheets (or CSS) have been used to control the look and feel of our website. If your browser is unable to use style sheets, the information within our site will still be accessible to the user.
  • We’ve created relationships with all online form controls with their labels to help out users with limited dexterity and/or visual disabilities.
  • All web pages use headings to create a proper document structure, which can be used by some screen readers.
Accessibility Barriers

Our highly technical Assessment Reports, which were completed several years ago, are in pdf format only. We do not have the capability nor the resources to upgrade them to an accessible format. We include information for the user to contact us if they have issues with accessibility, in which case we will work with them on a case by case basis to ensure access.

If you are unable to access any information on this website please contact a Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority representative.
