Built for every neighbour

What we built in

• Works with a keyboard alone

  Every menu, form, link, and FAQ on this site can be reached and used with Tab and Enter. No mouse required, including the mobile menu.

• You can always see where you are

  Keyboard focus gets a thick gold outline on every element, on light and dark backgrounds both.

• Motion respects your settings

  If your device asks for reduced motion, our animations switch off. The scroll bar sits full, cards stay put.

• Text you can actually read

  Every text and background pairing on this site is checked against the WCAG AA contrast ratio, including the gold on green.

• Images carry descriptions

  Photos have alt text, decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers, and no information lives only inside an image.

Hit a barrier? Tell us

If any part of this site is hard to use with a screen reader, a keyboard, a switch device, or anything else, that is a bug and we will fix it. Email sam-hajar@londonward7.ca or call 519-902-0971. Tell us the page and what went wrong, and a real person will follow up.

Voting is accessible too

Accessibility does not stop at the website. At the polls, you may bring a friend or relative to help you mark your ballot after they take an oath. And under the Municipal Elections Act (s.45(9)), the deputy returning officer must come to you anywhere in the voting place if a disability makes the standard setup hard to use. Long-term care and retirement homes above the size thresholds get voting places on site.

Our guide for seniors, caregivers, and long-term care residents covers all of it: Voting from long-term care or with assistance.
