Accessibility Disclaimer
The Town of Goderich is committed to responding to the accessibility needs of the community. This commitment extends to our website. The Town’s website has been designed to be WCAG 2.0 level AA compliant and meets the Province of Ontario's Accessible Information and Communications Standard (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005).
Whenever possible, documents (PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint) are posted to the website as accessible documents. An ongoing effort is being made to make historical documents available and compliant with the standard, although there are some limits in our ability to do so.
The Town recognizes situations where it is not practicable or possible to present content in an accessible format. In these cases, best efforts are used to provide citizens an accessible alternative or assistance in acquiring the information they need. Should you need assistance in obtaining an accessible alternative for non accessible content, contact the Town of Goderich by dialing 519-524-8344, or emailing townhall@goderich.ca.
Examples of such exceptions include:
- Mapping or GIS data.
- Engineering drawings or complex technical data.
- Legacy applications or data that cannot be updated or cannot be updated with reasonable effort/expenses.
- Vendor web applications where the Town was unable to negotiate contractual obligation to maintain accessibility.
- Presentation content where rendering accessibility would hinder the ability to achieve its intended purpose.
- Content that cannot be rendered accessible without significant impact.
- Excel documents i.e. financial information
Standards for External Contributors
In order to maintain its accessibility standards, the Town expects all content provided by external contributors to be delivered in compliance with the WCAG 2.0 Level A and the Province of Ontario's Accessible Information and Communications Standard.
The Town will accept no responsibility for converting non accessible content provided by external contributors, train external contributors on accessibility or incur costs related to acquiring tools required to meet the requirement.
