Accessibility Plan

Canada Basketball is committed to making the sport of basketball accessible and providing an inclusive environment for all participants.

Canada Basketball has developed an Accessibility Plan which explores the organization’s policies, programs, practices and services concerning the identification and removal of barriers. This will be done through continuing the development, implementation, and enforcement of standards relating to customer service, and events as well as updating our information and communications standards. 

This Accessibility Plan also explores the actions being taken to identify, remove and prevent barriers by outlining short- and long-term commitments to improve accessibility now and into the future.

• Providing users easy access to the navigation menu where they can skip to the main content on every page.

• Adding links title attributes, providing more detail on links with better descriptions.

• Optimizing pages to work with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
