Accessibility of the site.
This section describes some of the features of this site that will increase its accessibility to users of assistive or non-standard Web technologies.
- This site complies with the Treasury Board Common Look and
Feel policy relating to Federal Identity, Official Languages and
accessibility.
- All pages are consistently designed.
- Tables are only used to layout navigation bars. Since the
order of the links in the navigation bar is not critical, if your
browser can't display tables you will not be affected.
- All text effects and most other visual layout are
accomplished using a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS). However, if
your browser does not support CSS you will still have full access
to the content of the application, in a logical reading
order.
- The first link on the page (following the Federal Identity
information) allows you to skip over the navigation bars and
positions you at the start of the main content of the page. If
your browser supports the Accesskey function, holding the alt-key
and pressing "Z" will also take you to the start of the main
content area of the page.
- Similarly, using the TAB key, you can reach the start of the
main content of the page with just one or two keystrokes strokes.
(Actual number of keystrokes will vary from browser to browser.
Not all browsers support this function.)
- This site is designed to be viewable at any resolution. All
text can be made larger or smaller to suit your needs. This may
cause some wrapping of lines at higher magnifications. Most
graphical browsers allow you some control over the font size and
colour combinations that are displayed. See your browser's help
for details.
