Website Accessibility Statement
The City of Sault Ste. Marie takes accessibility seriously, and strives to meet and exceed accessibility standards wherever possible. The Province of Ontario sets a standard for information and communications to assist organizations, like the City of Sault Ste. Marie, in making their information accessible to the widest audience.
The Province of Ontario uses the World Wide Web Consortium’s
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 to set its compliance requirements for websites and their content. WCAG 2.0 includes three levels of compliance, ranging in strictness, with Level A being the least strict, and Level AAA being the strictest.
The Province requires municipalities to deliver content that meets the criteria described by Level AA of WCAG 2.0. The City of Sault Ste. Marie constantly reviews its website and its content to ensure this standard is met, and works hard to reach the higher levels of compliance.
