<h2>Accessibility at the Library of Parliament</h2> <h3></h3> <div id="overview-accessibility"> <h2>Overview</h2> <h3>Statement</h3> <p>The Library of Parliament is committed to offering an inclusive and accessible environment for employees, clients and the public. To do so, the Library works closely with parliamentary partners and partners in the Government of Canada.</p> <p>The Library is committed to providing equitable products and services that are accessible to the most diverse group of users possible, regardless of ability. We are actively working to remove accessibility barriers and gaps for employees, clients and the public in everything we do.</p>   <h3>Accessibility plan</h3> <p>The <a rel="noopener" href="https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/About/Accessibility/plan" target="_blank">Library of Parliament Accessibility Plan 2022–2025</a>, published on 1 December 2022, is the Library’s first accessibility plan. It describes how the Library identifies and removes accessibility barriers in the areas of employment, the built environment, information and communication technologies, communication, the procurement of goods, services and facilities, the design and delivery of programs and services, and transportation and culture.</p> <h3>Progress report on the implementation of the accessibility plan</h3> <p>The <a rel="noopener" href="/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/About/Accessibility/progressReport2023" target="_blank">first progress report</a> on the implementation of the Library’s accessibility plan, published on 11 December 2023, describes the many initiatives we have undertaken to remove barriers and improve accessibility within our organization. These initiatives were carried out by various teams at the Library.</p> <h3>Feedback process</h3> <p>The <a rel="noopener" href="https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/About/Accessibility/feedbackProcess" target="_blank">Description of feedback process</a> explains how the Library receives and handles feedback about accessibility.</p> <h3>Documents</h3> <p>To request these documents in alternate formats, simply complete the <a rel="noopener" href="https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/About/Accessibility/AccessibilityReport" target="_blank">Accessibility Inquiries and Feedback</a> form or send an email to <a href="mailto:LopAccessibleBdP@parl.gc.ca">LopAccessibleBdP@parl.gc.ca</a>.</p> <h3>Accessibility in the Parliamentary Precinct</h3> <h4>Guided Tours of Parliament</h4> <p>Visitors to Parliament can learn about accessibility, including accommodations and assistive services available for guided tours, by consulting the <a rel="noopener" href="https://visit.parl.ca/sites/Visit/default/en_CA/Planning" target="_blank">Plan Your Visit</a> web page.</p> <h3>Web Accessibility</h3> <h4>Guidelines</h4> <p>The Library is working towards <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/">Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0</a> Level AA compliance. Our public websites are compatible with assistive technologies and work best on modern browsers. Additionally, the Library uses a variety of digital tools that meet the accessibility needs of our employees and our parliamentary and government partners.</p> <p>The Library aims to go above and beyond leading accessibility standards such as WCAG by implementing Universal Accessibility (UA) best practices.</p> <h4>Diligence</h4> <p>The Library’s public website draws information from many documents, publications and applications produced by various authors and third parties. As this may result in accessibility standards not always being met, the Library continues to work with partner organizations to improve the compliance of these documents, publications and applications.</p> <p>Despite our ongoing efforts, some of our web content may not be fully accessible, including:</p> <ul> <li>documents that may only be produced in PDF format;</li> <li>scans of documents; and</li> <li>pages with inconsistent designs, navigation or features.</li> </ul> <p>Alternate formats of documents may be provided on request except where it is unfeasible to do so for technical or cost reasons. To request a document in an alternate format, complete the <a href="/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/About/Accessibility/AccessibilityReport">Accessibility Inquiries and Feedback Form</a> or email <a href="mailto:LopAccessibleBdP@parl.gc.ca">LopAccessibleBdP@parl.gc.ca</a>.</p> <script src="/staticfiles/lop/assets/js/accessibility/AccessibilityOverview.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-3 right-panel"> <div class="rounded-block"> <p><strong>Electronic Form</strong></p> <p>Feedback can be shared (anonymously if desired).</p><ul> <li> <a id="" class=" accessible-links" title="" href="/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/About/Accessibility/AccessibilityReport" target="_self"> <span>Accessibility Inquiries and Feedback Form</span> </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="rounded-block"> <p><strong>Email</strong></p> <p>Messages can include photos, videos, links, or other attachments as necessary.</p><ul> <li> <a id="" class=" accessible-links" title="" href="mailto:LopAccessibleBdP@parl.gc.ca" target="_self"> <span>LopAccessibleBdP@parl.gc.ca</span> </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="rounded-block"> <p><strong>Telephone</strong></p> <p>A voicemail service is available: 613-947-7333 (Ottawa).<br />Toll free: 1-833-411-7845</p><ul> </ul> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <footer class="ce-lop-footer hidden-print" role="contentinfo"> <div id="footer" > <p><a href="#" class="back-to-top"><span class="sr-only">Top of Page</span></a></p><script> jQuery(document).ready(function() { var offset = 500; var duration = 500; jQuery(window).scroll(function() { if (jQuery(this).scrollTop() > offset) { jQuery('.back-to-top').fadeIn(duration); } else { jQuery('.back-to-top').fadeOut(duration); } }); jQuery('.back-to-top').click(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); jQuery('html, body').animate({scrollTop: 163}, duration); return false; }) }) </script><div class="ce-lop-footer-top"> <div class="container"> <div class="row ce-lop-footer-vc"> <div class="col-md-4 text-center col-md-push-4 ce-lop-footer-emblem"> <img alt="" src="/staticfiles/PublicWebsite/assets/images/Footer/logo-footer-parl-e.png"> </div> <div class="col-md-4 col-md-pull-4"> <ul class="ce-lop-footer-external-links"> <li> <a id="" class="ce-lop-footer-senate-link" title="Senate of Canada website" href="https://www.sencanada.ca/en" target="_blank"> <span>Senate</span> </a> </li> <li> <a id="" class="ce-lop-footer-hoc-link" title="Canadian House of Commons website" href="http://www.ourcommons.ca/en" target="_blank"> <span>House of Commons</span> </a> </li> <li> <a id="" class="" title="" href="https://pps.parl.ca/" target="_blank"> <span>Parliamentary Protective Service</span> </a> </li> <li> <a id="" class="" title="Canadian Parliament career portal" href="http://jobs-emplois.parl.ca/?Language=E" target="_blank"> <span>Employment at Parliament</span> </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-md-4 ce-lop-footer-stay-connected"> <div class="ce-lop-footer-stay-connected-header"> <a href="https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/About/Social"> <p> <b><p>Stay connected</p></b><br><br> <img src="/staticfiles/PublicWebsite/assets/images/Footer/icon-connect-twitter.png" alt="Connect with Twitter"> <img src="/staticfiles/PublicWebsite/assets/images/Footer/icon-connect-linkedin.png" alt="Connect with LinkedIn"> <img src="/staticfiles/PublicWebsite/assets/images/Footer/icon-connect-instagram.png" alt="Connect with Instagram"> <img src="/staticfiles/PublicWebsite/assets/images/Footer/icon-connect-facebook5.png" alt="icon-connect-facebook5.png"> <img src="/staticfiles/PublicWebsite/assets/images/Footer/icon-connect-youtube.png" alt="Connect with Youtube"> <img src="/staticfiles/PublicWebsite/assets/images/Footer/icon-connect-flickr.png" alt="Connect with Flickr"> </p> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ce-lop-footer-bottom"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12 text-center"> <ul class="ce-lop-footer-bottom-links"> <li> <a id="" class="" title="" href="https://lop.parl.ca/sites/ParlInfo/default/en_CA/SiteInformation/atoz" target="_blank"> <span>A to Z index</span> </a> </li> <li> <a id="" class="" title="" href="https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/About/Accessibility" target="_blank"> <span>Accessibility</span> </a> </li> <li> <a id="" class="" title="" href="https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/en_CA/Notices" target="_self"> <span>Important notices</span> </a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </Body>  <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-Tc5IQib027qvyjSMfHjOMaLkfuWVxZxUPnCJA7l2mCWNIpG9mGCD8wGNIcPD7Txa" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> </html>
