Accessibility

FYF is committed to making our web application usable by as many people as possible.

Including people who use assistive technology such as screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or browser magnification.

Our approach

Our accessibility work has been informed by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. We've worked through the public site and the signed-in application — including both of the app's alternate dark themes — addressing areas including:

  • Keyboard use — interactive controls, including custom dialogs and grouped selections, can be operated fully without a mouse, including arrow-key navigation within grouped options
  • Semantic structure — meaningful headings and landmark regions, so the page makes sense navigated by structure, not just by sight
  • Form labels — inputs have labels that are programmatically connected to them, not just placed nearby visually
  • Dialog behavior and focus management — opening a dialog moves focus into it and traps it there; closing returns focus to where you were; Escape closes it
  • Color contrast— text and key interactive elements meet WCAG's minimum contrast requirements against their backgrounds, checked across all three of the app's color themes
  • Touch targets — buttons and controls are sized to be easy to tap accurately
  • Status and error communication — errors and status changes are announced to assistive technology, not conveyed by color or position alone

How we test

We use automated accessibility testing (axe-core, and accessibility-focused linting) as part of our engineering process, alongside manual keyboard-only testing and manual code review. Automated testing catches real, common issues, but it cannot find every accessibility barrier — some things, like whether an interaction genuinely works well with a specific screen reader, require human and assistive-technology testing. Accessibility is ongoing work for us, not a finished state.

Manitoba accessibility standards

FYF is subject to The Accessibility for Manitobans Actand its Accessible Information and Communication Standard. In keeping with that standard: if you need information from FYF in a different format, or need communication support to use FYF, contact us and we'll work with you to remove the barrier, at no additional cost.
