The Maritime Unity Party of Nova Scotia (“MUPNS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is dedicated to ensuring that our website (www.unitedmaritimes.ca) is accessible to all Nova Scotians, regardless of ability. We believe everyone deserves equal access to information about our mission for Nova Scotia’s independence and a united Maritime future. We are committed to meeting or exceeding the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and complying with Nova Scotia’s Accessibility Act to make our digital content inclusive and user-friendly.
 

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We strive to provide a website that is:
• Perceivable: Content is presented in ways that users can see, hear, or otherwise perceive (e.g., text alternatives for images, captions for videos).
• Operable: Navigation and functionality are easy to use for all, including those using assistive technologies like screen readers or keyboards.
• Understandable: Information is clear, concise, and easy to comprehend.
• Robust: Our website works across a variety of devices, browsers, and assistive tools.
Accessibility Features
To enhance accessibility, we have implemented or are working toward:
• Alt text for images to support screen reader users.
• Keyboard navigation for those who cannot use a mouse.
• High-contrast colour schemes and adjustable text sizes for better readability.
• Captions or transcripts for videos and audio content.
• Clear headings and consistent layouts to simplify navigation.
• Compatibility with popular assistive technologies.
 

Ongoing Efforts

We are continuously improving our website’s accessibility by:
• Conducting regular accessibility audits using automated tools and manual testing.

• Seeking feedback from users with disabilities to address barriers.
• Updating our website to align with evolving accessibility standards.
