The Globe and Mail is dedicated to providing a respectful, welcoming, accessible, and inclusive environment for all people with disabilities. As part of our online commitment, we are focused on ensuring that globeandmail.com meets WCAG 2.0 AA standards as required by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), and that our content is accessible for all users, including those with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges. For more information on the steps The Globe and Mail is making to become more accessible, please review our Accessibility Policy.
The Globe and Mail has been thoroughly tested and updated to ensure it works efficiently with modern assistive technology such as screen readers. We have also worked to ensure that most content and functionality can be accessed using only a keyboard. As we develop new features and functionality on our site, our team of product managers, designers and developers will continue to consider accessibility and build to the highest standard possible.
