INTRODUCTION

This page is intended to guide you in using the site.

To find out how accessible this site is, visit the RGAA 3 2017 compliance statement.

The Web Accessibility Initiative International (WAI) defines web accessibility as follows:

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, that they can perceive, understand, navigate and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, such as the elderly, whose abilities change with age.
Web accessibility encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the Web, including visual, hearing, physical, speech, cognitive and neurological disabilities.
