Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on April 4, 2025.

We at BC Commons are working to make our site, bccommons.com, accessible to people with disabilities.

What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We have adapted this site in accordance with WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines and have made the site accessible to that level.

This site’s contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:

• Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

• Set the language of the site

• Set the content order of the site’s pages

• Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

• Added alternative text to images

• Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

• Reduced the use of motion on the site

• Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content [only add if relevant]

The accessibility of certain pages on the site may depend on content that does not belong to BC Commons, and instead belongs to third-party platforms. These may include embedded forms or plugins not fully governed by our system. If relevant, we will list those here.

Accessibility arrangements in the organization

BC Commons operates as a digital-first organization with no public-facing physical office. At this stage, all interactions and services are offered online. As our platform evolves, we will continue to evaluate and implement physical or digital accessibility measures where relevant.

Requests, issues and suggestions

If you find an accessibility issue on the site, or if you require further assistance, you are welcome to contact us through the organization’s accessibility coordinator:
