Accessibility Statement for The Wild Ways At The Wild Ways (thewildways.ca), we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information about outdoor adventures, trapping stories, foraged products from Northern Canada, and our related offerings. As a small business based in British Columbia, Canada, we strive to align our digital presence with relevant accessibility standards and provincial guidelines under the Accessible British Columbia Act.Our CommitmentWe aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA, which are internationally recognized standards for web accessibility. This includes:

  • Providing text alternatives for non-text content, such as alt text for images of our products (e.g., Diamond Willow Fungus, Wild Ways Hats, and trapline tours).

  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast for text and interactive elements to support users with visual impairments.

  • Using semantic HTML for proper heading structures, navigation, and content organization to facilitate screen reader compatibility.

  • Supporting keyboard navigation for all interactive features, including product "Add to Cart" buttons, newsletter sign-up forms, and links to our blog, YouTube videos, and Instagram feed.

  • Making embedded media (like YouTube videos) accessible with captions or transcripts where possible.

Ongoing EffortsOur website features a single-page layout with clear sections for products, blog content, newsletter subscriptions, and social media integrations. We regularly review and update our site to improve accessibility, incorporating user feedback and testing with tools like WAVE or Lighthouse. As we grow, we plan to conduct formal accessibility audits and enhance features such as adjustable text sizes or high-contrast modes.Known LimitationsWhile we work toward full accessibility, some areas may have limitations:

  • Third-party integrations (e.g., YouTube videos or Instagram feeds) may not always meet our standards, though we select accessible options when available.

  • Older blog posts or user-generated content might require updates for optimal compatibility.
