Arctic Economic Development Corporation (“AEDC”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to ensuring that our website and digital content are accessible to all individuals, including people with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive, user-friendly experience for all visitors to aedc.ca.

 

Our Commitment

AEDC aims to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, an internationally recognized standard for digital accessibility. We work toward continuous improvement of accessibility features across our website, communications, and digital materials.

 

Measures We Take

To support accessibility, AEDC:

Builds and maintains the website on the Wix platform, which offers built-in accessibility features

Uses clear structure, headings, and descriptive text to support screen readers

Incorporates alternative text for images where applicable

Ensures readable colour contrast and scalable text

Reviews website content regularly to identify and address accessibility issues

Considers accessibility in new digital content and design updates

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing process. AEDC is continually working to:

Improve compatibility with assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice navigation, and keyboard-only browsing

Reduce barriers that may arise from multimedia content, forms, and layout

Update pages and features as new best practices, technologies, or accessibility tools become available

If you encounter any accessibility challenges, we want to hear from you.

Modern desktop and mobile browsers

Screen readers such as NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver
