Website accessibility

DoNoHarm BC’s website provides markup for screen reader accessibility following WCAG 2.0 standards. It includes keyboard navigation, aria labels, and focus control. It also includes an Accessibility Menu powered by a dedicated accessibility server, allowing us to improve our compliance with WCAG 2.1 guidelines. We regard this widget as an addition to person-driven best practices in web design, rather than a replacement for it.

The Accessibility Menu can be enabled by clicking the round black-and-white icon showing a human with outstretched arms, appearing on the left side of the screen. After triggering the Accessibility Menu, please wait a moment for it to load fully.

Our website is designed with visual contrast and font legibility in mind. If you wish to change the contrast, fonts, or text sizes on our site, you can do so through the Accessibility Menu.

Images and image descriptions

All images on DoNoHarm BC’s website include alt text. Key photos (as well as charts and infographics) also include image descriptions.

We invite all photo subjects to provide their own visual description if they choose, or to offer feedback on existing descriptions, to ensure accurate and affirming representation.

While photos are taken and used with permission, should you wish to have your images removed, cropped, or censored at a later date, please let us know at any time.

Here for you

We know accessibility is a constant work in progress. That means we’ll keep updating this accessibility policy over time. It also means some website content may not yet be fully adapted to the most intuitive accessibility standards.

If you encounter an access barrier or technical issue, or if you questions, please get in touch.
