About Our Web Site

The Internet has provided many Canadians with an enhanced sense of empowerment. But for many people, gaining access to web content is more difficult. Some Canadians rely on assistive technologies such as text readers, audio players and voice-activated devices to overcome the barriers presented by standard technologies. Others may be limited by access to technology. Many older browsers, non-standard operating systems, slow connections, small screens or text-only screens limit obtaining information that is readily available to others.

To provide as universally accessible access as possible, this web site has been designed to the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C), Internet accessibility standards W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

WC3 Accessibility Guidelines

This include the use of cascading style sheets, limited use of graphics, expansive use of "alt" descriptions or longdesc tags, no frames, no roll over Java scripting, modified text reader capabilities and the use of colour blind safe colours. This site has passed both the WC3's CSS and HTML 4.01 validation tests.

The OCHAP site was designed to be best viewed using Netscape 6.x or higher and Internet Explorer 5.x or higher. However, provisions have been made to allow this site to work using Netscape 4.x and Opera but some features found in the cascading style sheets will not be available.

While every reasonable effort has been made to ensure the accessibility of this site, some content or services found here might be inaccessible to some visitors. In those circumstances, please contact the webmaster at webmaster@ochap.ca and all attempts will be made to assist.
