Copy Cate Inc. is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience and apply relevant accessibility standards to our website.

1. Our Commitment

We are committed to meeting or exceeding:

• The Accessible Canada Act (S.C. 2019, c. 10).
• The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
• The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA.

2. Measures We Take

• Semantic HTML and logical heading structure.
• Alternative text for meaningful images.
• Sufficient colour contrast (checked against WCAG AA).
• Keyboard-navigable menus and links.
• Support for browser zoom and text resizing up to 200%.

If you encounter a barrier, we will work with you to provide the information or service you need in an alternative format.
