Accessibility Features of the Web Version of this Resource

The web version of this resource has been designed with accessibility in mind.

Organizing content

• Content is organized under headings and subheadings.
• Headings and subheadings are used sequentially (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2).

Images

• Images that convey information include alternative text (alt text) descriptions of the image’s content or function.
• Graphs, charts, and maps also include contextual or supporting details in the text surrounding the image.
• Images do not rely on colour to convey information.
• Images that are purely decorative do not have alt text descriptions. (Descriptive text is unnecessary if the image doesn’t convey contextual content information).

Links

• The link text describes the destination of the link and does not use generic text such as “click here” or “read more.”
• If a link will open or download a file (like a PDF or Excel file), a textual reference is included in the link information (e.g., [PDF]).
• If a link must open in a new window or tab, a textual reference is included in the link information (e.g., [NewTab]).
• For citations and references, the title of the resource is hyperlinked, and the full URL is not hyperlinked.
