We want to make travel more accessible

Here’s how we’re doing it

Squamish Adventure Inn is renowned not just for its stunning location amidst the rugged beauty of the Coast Mountains but also for its commitment to accessibility. This haven for adventurers and nature lovers alike ensures that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can enjoy the wonders of Squamish to the fullest extent possible.

Additionally, we believe the web should be open to all, regardless of sex, color, creed, or ability. That’s why this website is built to conform to the web content accessibility guidelines set out in the WCAG 2.0 + 2.1 for the purpose of making this website accessible to everyone regardless of any disability. It is designed and built to work with assistive devices and applications like JAWS and VoiceOver.

Certification & ADA

There is no formal certification process or entity that recognizes the accessibility of websites. As our commitment to accessibility, we’ve built the website to conform to the recommendations of WCAG 2.0 + 2.1 (web content accessibility guidelines), which are universally accepted standards for these principles. It does not represent a review or validation of conformance by W3C or WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative). Rather it is meant to promote accessibility on the web and indicate a claim of conformance to a specified level of WCAG.

This website was also built to comply with the most current rules of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title III, administered by the Department of Justice in the United States.

Testing

Testing for the website is conducted with a combination of manual testing and the use of the following tools: Wave by Webaim, Koa11y, and browser color contrast checkers to ensure compliance is met in the WCAG level A or AA. Items found are flagged and passed onto a team of digital strategists, developers and editors based on the issue (be it content or a functional area of concern) to be corrected. Testing is conducted at regular intervals, and code that does not conform to WCAG standards are remediated as soon as they are known.

Execution

We rely on a proprietary methodology and development framework that delivers a Level A or AA compliance for WCAG 2.0 and 2.1. Alongside resources that are provided at the beginning of our audit process, we conduct regular checks to ensure that content updates and edits continue to the desired level of accessibility and reflects changes adopted by the WCAG.
