As a part of Access Awareness Week, Municipal staff took part in training on digital accessibility to learn how to create more inclusive digital documents, presentations, and online communications.

Digital accessibility helps make sure that everyone, including people with disabilities, can access information and services independently and effectively. Through this training, staff gained practical skills in many topics, including plain language, accessible document design, alternative text, colour contrast and accessible presentations.
