Accessibility Statement

1. Our Commitment

Top Play Alberta is committed to ensuring topplayalberta.com is accessible to all users including people with disabilities. We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance.

We work continuously to audit our interface elements, simplify navigation trees, and maintain high contrast values. Our digital platform is developed with the belief that information must be accessible to every resident of Alberta, regardless of physical or cognitive capabilities.

2. Conformance Status

To achieve WCAG 2.1 AA standards, we have integrated the following design principles into our pages:

• Semantic HTML5: Clean markup using appropriate landmark divs (headers, nav elements, main sections, footers) to support screen reader systems.
• Alternative Text: Descriptive alt attributes added to all informative graphics and images, with decorative assets using blank alt tags to avoid clutter.
• Keyboard Navigation: The entire interface can be navigated using Tab keys, with visible focus indicators showing the active selection.
• Contrast Values: Text-to-background contrast ratios exceeding 4.5:1 for standard text and 3:1 for display text headers.
• Text Resize: Pages support zoom configurations up to 200% without breaking grid columns or causing horizontal page scrolls.
• Skip Navigation: Skip links are provided at the top of pages to allow screen readers to skip directly to page content.

3. Known Limitations

Some third-party embedded content (maps, payment processor interfaces) may not fully meet our standards. Interactive game components may have inherent accessibility constraints. We are actively working with providers to address these.

If you encounter barriers on our website, please notify us. We are dedicated to providing alternative formats or documentation as needed.

4. Technical Specifications

Accessibility compliance on topplayalberta.com relies on standard technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. These technologies must run on modern browsers to guarantee optimal contrast, keyboard highlights, and screen reader announcements. ARIA attributes are updated in our scripts to reflect changing modal states in real-time.
