Planning for Accessibility

Creating inclusive environments involves planning for accessibility, which addresses a broad range of needs that any of us might require assistance with during our lifetime. These needs can arise from temporary or long-term physical disabilities affecting movement, vision, or hearing. They may also include cognitive disabilities such as developmental and learning challenges, mental health conditions, environmental sensitivities, and other invisible, context-driven conditions.

Event Accessibility Considerations

Our event presents some challenges:

  • Navigating through crowds amid loud music with flickering lights and lasers
  • Using portable toilets
  • Walking at times in darkness on uneven, wet grass and paths
  • Attendees also face various weather conditions, from cool to warm and wet.
  • Setting up and sleeping in tents or trailers

Online Accessibility

Online, we are committed to making our content accessible to all. Guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), we have designed—and will continue to update—this website to meet new and evolving standards. WCAG outlines four main principles for creating an accessible website, which we strive to meet at a minimum.
