Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: September 15, 2025

At Northern Signal Ops, we are committed to ensuring that our website, [www.northernsignalops.ca], is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe that all individuals should be able to access our research, innovation, and services with equal ease, and we continuously work to improve accessibility across our digital platforms.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

An accessible website allows visitors with disabilities to navigate, interact with, and enjoy the site independently and effectively. We strive to achieve this by designing our site to support assistive technologies, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, speech recognition software, and keyboard-only navigation.

Standards We Follow

Northern Signal Ops has developed its website in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, aiming to meet Level AA compliance. These guidelines define international best practices for ensuring digital accessibility.

Accessibility Features of Our Site

We have implemented the following measures to make our website more accessible:

Clear and consistent heading structures across all pages.
Alternative text provided for images.
Keyboard accessibility for all interactive features.
High color contrast to support users with visual impairments.
Reduced use of motion to avoid potential issues for individuals with vestibular disorders.
Accessible documents and media, including captions, transcripts, and properly structured files.
Logical content order to ensure compatibility with screen readers and other assistive technologies.

We also conduct periodic reviews of our website to identify and fix potential accessibility issues.

Third-Party Content

While we strive to ensure full accessibility across our website, some third-party content or applications may not fully meet WCAG 2.1 standards. We are committed to working with providers to improve accessibility wherever possible.
