The GCTools Team partnered with Statistics Canada to do accessibility testing on GCconnex. While GCconnex received a relatively high compliance score, Stats Can identified a number of areas that we can address to improve the accessibility of the site. With the help of Stats Can, our technical team implemented a number of key accessibility improvements during the Spring of 2015. 


As a contributor, you should ensure that the content you post to the GCTools is done in a manner that is as accessible as possible to all users. Be conscious of the fact that some specialized formatting or media types may significantly increase the risk of accessibility issues.
