Website accessibility

To help us respond in the most useful way, please tell us the nature of the accessibility problem, your preferred format for receiving the material, the web address of the requested material, and your contact information.

Design guidelines
This website has been designed with the following guidelines in mind:
- We work to comply with Section 508 and WCAG 2 Level A and AA web accessibility standards.
- Pages can be navigated by keyboard alone, with a “skip to content” link on every page.
- Images carry descriptive alternative text and colours meet contrast requirements.
- Animations are reduced for visitors who have asked their device to reduce motion.
PDF documents
Many city records are published as PDF files. Free PDF readers are available for every device, including Adobe Acrobat Reader. Adobe also offers accessibility tools for reading PDFs with a screen reader. If you need a document in another format, contact City Hall.
