Commitment to Accessibility
Sohkâtan Contracting is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people of all abilities. We aim to meet or exceed the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, with a goal of conforming to Level AAA wherever possible. We continually work to make our website accessible, user-friendly, and inclusive.
What We’re Doing
To support accessibility on our website, we:
- Strive for AAA-level compliance with WCAG 2.1
- Regularly review our content and design practices
- Use plain language wherever possible
- Incorporate good colour contrast, keyboard navigation, and clear structure
- Provide alt text and descriptive links
- Test for accessibility using tools like accessiBe
- Seek feedback from users with disabilities to improve usability
Third-Party Tools
We use accessiBe, an accessibility auditing and adjustment tool, to help identify and address accessibility barriers across our website. This tool scans our site and suggests improvements to meet accessibility standards.
Please note that some third-party content embedded on our site (such as social media posts or maps) may not yet meet the same accessibility standards.
Ongoing Efforts
Accessibility is not a one-time task—it’s a continuous process. As our website grows and evolves, we remain committed to making it usable and accessible for everyone, including those using assistive technologies such as screen readers or alternative input devices.
Compliance Standards
Our efforts align with:
- The Accessible Canada Act (ACA)
- The Manitoba Accessibility Standard for Information and Communication
- WCAG 2.1 Guidelines, with the goal of AAA-level compliance
Policy Review
This Accessibility Policy will be reviewed and updated regularly as part of our commitment to ongoing accessibility improvement.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our website. If you encounter any accessibility barriers or have difficulty using any part of the site, please let us know so we can address the issue promptly.
