The Town of Comox will receive funding to help make their website more accessible to users.
The Social Planning and Research Council of B.C. (SPARC BC) is giving a $25,000 grant to the town to support improvements to the town’s website and mapping tools.
The funding will help implement new digital tools such as enhanced navigation features, readable fonts, and alternative text for images to help ensure everyone can access online information more easily.
The town’s interactive map will also be upgraded to include accessibility infrastructure throughout Comox, such as accessible parking, ramps, and public washrooms.
Reviews will be conducted regularly with input from the Comox Valley Accessibility Committee, the Comox Valley Social Planning Society, people with lived experience, and accessibility experts to ensure the plan reflects the needs of the community.
