Aberlake Inc. is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually work to improve the user experience of this website and apply relevant accessibility standards.

1. Our Commitment

We aim to meet or exceed the requirements of:

• The Accessible Canada Act (S.C. 2019, c. 10).
• The Act to secure handicapped persons in the exercise of their rights with a view to achieving social, school and workplace integration (Quebec).
• The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA.

2. Measures We Take

• Semantic HTML with a logical heading structure.
• Alternative text for meaningful images and icons.
• Colour contrast checked against WCAG AA requirements.
• Keyboard-navigable menus, links, and buttons.
• Support for browser zoom and text resizing up to 200%.
• Respect for the prefers-reduced-motion setting, which disables animations.
• A visible “skip to main content” link for keyboard users.
• Focus indicators on all interactive elements.

3. Known Limitations

• Decorative marquee — the scrolling text band on the home page is marked aria-hidden=“true” and duplicates its content, so screen readers are not burdened with it. The same information is available in the Philosophy and Focus sections.
• Embedded third-party tools — links to external services (such as the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Commission d’accès à l’information du Québec) are outside our control and may not fully meet AA standards.

4. Feedback
