About our website
Then and Now
Over the last decade our old website adhered to the HTML 4 specification in an effort to make sure that every browser could access our content. Times have changed and we really wanted our new website to take advantage of all the features of modern web browsers. Our new site adheres to the HTML5 specification and takes advantage of CSS3 and Javascript, as well as the jQuery and other frameworks. This allows for new ways to present information and also lets our content work well on tablets and cellphones.
Which Browser?
Our new website should work on many different browsers without any difficulty. Some browsers such as Internet Explorer present some unique challenges, but we have done our best to address them.
Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA)
It is very important to us to make sure that all of our content is accessible by all of our users. We have made every
effort to ensure that our website is AODA compliant
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
We have used two validation tools to check the integrity of our website:
Web Accessibility Checker
WAVE - Web accessibility evaluation tool
Multilingual Support
Using the latest translation tools available, we have tried to make our content accessible in many different languages. These tools are not perfect, but is our intention to include as many different users as we can.
