Our commitment
Accessibility
The Canadian aims to make its journalism usable by as many readers as possible, across devices and assistive technologies.
What we support
The site is designed for keyboard navigation, readable contrast, text resizing, clear headings, meaningful link labels, image descriptions, and reduced motion preferences.
Readers can choose a light or dark appearance, and articles include a text-size control on larger screens.
Compatibility
We aim to support current versions of major browsers, keyboard-only navigation, browser zoom, and common screen readers on desktop and mobile. Because combinations of devices and assistive technologies vary, some experiences may differ.
The site respects reduced-motion preferences and maintains reading contrast in both light and dark appearances. Content remains available without relying on colour alone.
Ongoing work
Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility. We review new pages and features and work to correct barriers that may prevent people from reading, listening, or navigating independently.
Report a barrier
Use the contact form to report an accessibility barrier. Choose General inquiry and begin the subject with “Accessibility.” Include the page address, what you were trying to do, your browser and operating system, and the name and version of any assistive technology used.
We review reports to reproduce the problem, assess its impact, and prioritize a practical correction. If you need information in another format, describe the content and format that would work for you.
