Accessibility

We aim to make the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Ontario Health Team website at www.lanarkleedsgrenvilleoht.ca accessible and usable for people of all abilities and disabilities.

To achieve that goal, our website is built using the QuickSilk platform which meets or exceeds the highest privacy and accessibility standards in Canada, the US and Europe. QuickSilk supports the European and broadest WCAG 2.1 standard with planned support for the upcoming WCAG 3.0 standard in a future release, the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The platform is regularly updated to ensure ongoing compliance with Accessibility and other standards.
