Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Training Services
In Ontario, Canada, as a part of the Accessibilities for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), there was a mandatory requirement for organizations to have their public-facing websites and web content be WCAG 2.0 Level A conformant as of January 1, 2014. As of January 1, 2021, all public-facing websites and web content need to be WCAG 2.0 Level A and Level AA conformant.
