1. Our Commitment

At West Hill Community Centre, we believe that everyone in our community has the right to live with dignity, equality, comfort, and independence. We are committed to ensuring our physical facility and our website are accessible to individuals of all abilities, in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

2. Digital Accessibility Features

We have implemented several measures on our website to ensure easy navigation and readability for all visitors, including those using assistive technologies:

  • Semantic HTML Hierarchy: Structured headings (<h1>, <h2>, etc.) and semantic elements are used correctly to assist screen readers.
  • Keyboard Navigation: Interactive elements (links, forms, dropdowns) are accessible via standard keyboard inputs.
  • Text Contrast: Text and backgrounds comply with contrast requirements to ensure legibility.
  • Alternative Text: All functional images are configured with descriptive alternative (alt) text tags.
  • Responsive Coding: The website layout scales dynamically to support zooming and smaller display sizes on tablets and mobile screens.

3. Physical Facility Accessibility

Our physical community hub located at Unit 4, 4234 Lawrence Ave East is fully equipped to welcome all residents, featuring:

  • Wheelchair-accessible entryways and dynamic automated doors.
  • Accessible washroom facilities.
  • Dedicated accessible parking spaces located immediately adjacent to the main unit entrance.

4. Ongoing Efforts and Feedback
