Accessibility Feedback

Knak is committed to meeting the needs of persons with disabilities and to working towards and maintaining full compliance with the standards under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

To meet our commitment, Knak has established a multi-year accessibility plan that is reviewed and updated at least every three years. The plan outlines the policies and actions that we have taken and our continuing commitment to improving opportunities and ensuring our services are accessible for people with disabilities.

We actively monitor and use accessFlow to make changes to our website content to ensure they are accessible and conforming to WCAG 2.1 and ADA guidelines. We regularly review new content to ensure it aligns with accessibility guidelines and make any necessary amendments.

Knak is committed to providing accessible customer service and content, as well as meeting the communication needs of people with disabilities. We provide training to our employees on ways to communicate with our customers to meet their information and communication needs.

Persons with disabilities are provided with an equal opportunity to obtain, use, and benefit from the products and services available through Knak. Assistive devices may be used by persons with disabilities to access our products and services.

Knak has implemented a feedback process in our Accessibility Policy and encourages people to use our feedback process, which offers various contact options. We are committed to addressing feedback in a timely manner and using it to improve our accessibility initiatives.

Training: We provide accessibility training to all employees and contractors. This training includes the requirements of the AODA, as well as Knak's Accessibility Policies and ways of communicating with people with various types of disabilities. All team members complete the training within the first 30 days of employment, placement, or start of a contract.

Knak is committed to fair and accessible employment practices. We provide an accessible candidate experience, which is specified in our job postings, and offer accommodations and adjustments during the recruitment and assessment processes upon request. Knak also works to facilitate needed accommodations for its employees and supports return-to-work plans for employees who have been absent due to a disability.
