Vaughan United Youth Development is committed to making this website accessible to people of all abilities. We are continually working to provide an inclusive online experience and to identify and remove accessibility barriers.
What web accessibility is
An accessible website allows visitors with disabilities to browse, understand and interact with its content with the same or a similar level of ease as other visitors. Accessibility may be supported through the website’s design, browser capabilities and assistive technologies.
Our Accessibility Efforts
We are working toward making this website conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, Level AA, where applicable. Our accessibility efforts may include:
• Providing alternative text for meaningful images
• Maintaining clear headings and logical page structures
• Using readable fonts and appropriate colour contrast
• Supporting keyboard navigation where possible
• Adding descriptive labels to links, buttons and forms
• Making content compatible with common assistive technologies
• Reviewing the website regularly to identify accessibility barriers
