Accessibility of the SQLA site

In addition to the efforts made to improve the accessibility of the entire BAnQ web portal for people with disabilities or major technological restrictions, the SQLA site has been the object of particular attention for several years now in order to ensure that it attains optimal compliance with the W3C WCAG accessibility standards.
In 2010, a further step was taken following the external evaluation of the latest public version of the Government of Québec’s web site accessibility standard (SGQRI 008 01 ).

Moreover, the following validation tools were used internally to evaluate the accessibility of the SQLA site:

• W3C validator
• W3C CSS validator
• Firefox (version 3.6.12) and the following plug-ins:
  • Firefox Accessibility Extension
  • Web Developer Toolbar 1.1.8
• Internet Explorer (version 8) and the following plug-ins:
• Web Accessibility Toolbar
• HTML Tidy
• Colour Contrast Analyser
