We strive to make our online content and services usable by as many people as possible, reflecting our faith-based values of compassion, inclusion, and respect.

2. Accessibility Standards

Our website is developed and maintained in alignment with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and follows the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA.
These standards help ensure that web content is:

  • Perceivable – information and interface components are presented in ways users can perceive.

  • Operable – interface and navigation are usable with a range of devices and assistive technologies.

  • Understandable – content is clear, consistent, and easy to follow.

  • Robust – content can be interpreted reliably by various browsers and assistive tools.

3. Measures We’ve Taken

To support accessibility, Forged By Faith:

  • Uses high-contrast text and backgrounds for readability.

  • Ensures navigation is consistent and keyboard-friendly.

  • Provides descriptive text alternatives for images and media.

  • Avoids content that may trigger seizures or cause discomfort.

  • Periodically tests our website for accessibility improvements.

  • Reviews new content and updates with accessibility in mind.

4. Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing process. We continuously review, evaluate, and improve our website’s accessibility features as technology evolves and standards change. Our team is dedicated to identifying and addressing potential barriers that could affect the usability of our content or online services.

5. Feedback and Contact

We welcome feedback on how we can improve the accessibility of our website and services.
If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please let us know so we can take corrective action promptly.

We are currently working to enhance:

  • Video captions and transcripts for all multimedia content.

  • Screen-reader testing across additional browsers and mobile devices.

  • Simplified text layout for all new web pages and forms.

Our goal is to ensure a fully inclusive online experience for every visitor.

We remain committed to full compliance and continuous improvement.
