As of May 1, Manitoba public sector organizations will have to comply with the accessible information and communication standard regulation.

The standard improves accessibility by:

  • building on existing requirements of the Human Rights Code
  • requiring websites and web content to follow globally recognized Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards to a minimum level AA
  • requiring organizations to provide information in an accessible format or through a communication support if requested
  • requiring organizations to develop a feedback process, implement policies and practices to enhance accessibility and provide training to relevant staff
  • setting specific requirements for supporting the purchase of accessible library resources within public libraries and supporting accessible material for students at educational institutions.

“So much of our world revolves around access to information and Manitobans should not face barriers when accessing digitally, in print or through interactions with technology or people,” says Nahanni Fontaine, families minister and minister responsible for accessibility.
