Accessibility Statement
This statement was last updated on July 1, 2024.
The Municipal Special Events Association is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
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.
Features
We have implemented the following accessibility features to improve navigation and experience on our site::
-
Skip Links and Landmarks to facilitate easy navigation and interaction.
-
Headings that are clearly defined to aid in content organization.
-
Alternative Text Details (ALT tags) for images and non-text elements to serve users who utilize screen readers.
-
Additional Markup to identify languages and structural elements on pages.
-
Programmatic Labels associated with form fields to ensure forms are accessible.
-
Enhanced JavaScript and CSS to improve functionality and visual appeal, ensuring high contrast and resolution across all devices. If JavaScript or styles are not supported or are disabled, the site content remains readable and functional ("graceful degradation").
-
Accessible Embedded Media, ensuring that all users can access multimedia content.
