One in five Canadians identify as having a disability. Imagine the significant increase in impact and reach by implementing a solution as simple as creating accessible social media posts, documents, or including accessibility best practises into multimedia content.

Whether it’s an important report, video, presentation, or an email, ensuring clients, customers and staff members can access communications materials not only ensures they’re included – but allows organizations to reach more people and expand their enterprise.
