This page explains how accessible our website currently is.
This website is created using Google Sites. Google Sites has limited support for accessibility but at the moment we are not able to use a different web publishing system. Nonetheless, within these limitations, we have tried to make this website as accessible as possible since we want as many people as possible to be able to navigate it and have access to its information. So:
We have included alt text for for images, logos, drawings, and other graphics.
Following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, we have used high color contrast which makes text and images easier to read and comprehend.
We have also used informative link text, numbered and bulleted lists where possible and text to support formatting.
