Accessibility statement template — to be completed by you with your actual remediation actions
Make online portals, service forms, information pages, and civic resources usable by every resident without requiring them to call your office for basic access.
Built to support WCAG 2.2 AA, AODA, ADA & EAA requirements. AccessPro adds user-facing accessibility features — it does not replace the source-code remediation required for full WCAG conformance.
The toolbar gives residents with disabilities the ability to navigate benefit applications, pay fees, access public records, register for consultations, and engage with government information on their own terms.
Show residents, oversight bodies, and your community that your agency treats digital access as part of its mandate rather than an item to be addressed later.
Accessible government websites improve service uptake, reduce support calls, and signal to residents that your agency is doing the work of equitable service delivery.
When a government website is inaccessible, residents cannot complete tasks that should be straightforward: applying for benefits, paying a fee, registering for a public meeting, or finding the contact information for a service they need. For residents who rely on assistive technology, an inaccessible portal is not an inconvenience — it is a barrier to civic participation. AccessPro adds user-facing controls that give residents real options when your site creates friction. It does not replace source-code remediation required for full WCAG conformance, but it addresses the most common barriers immediately.
AODA's Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation applies to all designated public sector organizations in Ontario, regardless of size. There is no minimum employee count for the public sector the way there is for private organizations. All public-facing websites and web content must conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Public sector organizations follow a two-year compliance reporting cycle. The December 31, 2025 reporting deadline has passed. Organizations that have not yet filed or carry documented accessibility gaps on their public sites face real audit exposure going forward.
For federal government agencies, Crown corporations, and federally regulated bodies, the Accessible Canada Act sets a separate and additional layer of requirements. The Act aims for a barrier-free Canada by 2040 and imposes web accessibility compliance deadlines for federal public sector organizations beginning December 5, 2027. Organizations operating at both the provincial and federal level may be subject to both AODA and the ACA simultaneously.
AccessPro adds user-facing accessibility features designed to support AODA, ADA, EAA, and WCAG 2.2 AA. It does not replace the source-code remediation required for full WCAG conformance, cannot guarantee legal protection on its own, and does not extend into internal government systems, staff intranets, or citizen service portals that operate behind a login. Those systems carry their own accessibility requirements that need to be addressed directly within each platform.
Does the AODA require all government websites to be accessible?
Yes. Designated public sector organizations in Ontario must meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA for public-facing websites with no minimum employee threshold. This applies to all municipal, provincial, and Crown-affiliated public bodies operating in Ontario. The public sector compliance reporting deadline of December 31, 2025 has passed. Organizations that have not yet filed are still expected to do so.
What is the difference between AODA and the Accessible Canada Act for government bodies?
AODA is provincial legislation applying to organizations in Ontario, including all levels of government operating in the province. The Accessible Canada Act is federal legislation covering Parliament, the federal public service, Crown corporations, and federally regulated industries such as banking, telecommunications, and transportation. Organizations may fall under both laws simultaneously. The ACA's web accessibility compliance deadline for federal public sector organizations is December 5, 2027.
How long does installation take?
About two minutes. AccessPro installs on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, and Squarespace with no developer required. If anything comes up during setup, our support team is available 24/7 by chat and email.
Does AccessPro protect our agency from accessibility complaints?
No single tool provides legal protection on its own. AccessPro helps demonstrate your agency's commitment to inclusion and addresses many common usability barriers. Full protection requires source-code remediation, a properly completed accessibility statement, and documented good-faith effort over time. For legal advice specific to your agency's obligations, speak with a qualified professional.
Does it work for municipal, provincial, and federal websites?
AccessPro installs on your public-facing website regardless of the level of government it serves. It does not extend into internal systems, citizen service portals, or back-office applications that operate behind a login. Those systems carry their own accessibility requirements that need to be addressed directly within each platform.
Can residents access the toolbar on any device?
Yes. The AccessPro toolbar works across desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers. Residents can open it from any device and adjust contrast, font size, text-to-speech, and other settings to suit their needs.
