Our Pledge to Diversity and Inclusion
At GambleOntario, we’re not just followers of inclusivity; we’re passionate advocates for creating a digital space where everyone, regardless of ability, feels welcomed and valued.
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is deeply rooted in the principles laid out by Canada’s pioneering web accessibility laws. These laws are not seen as mere guidelines but as a vital foundation for our mission, ensuring every visitor can access and benefit from our content with ease.
At GambleOntario, our mission is to create an inclusive and accessible online gaming experience for all gamblers and bettors living in Ontario, ensuring everyone feels welcomed and valued regardless of ability.
Our dedication is mirrored in how we embrace the spirit of the Canadian Human Rights Act, ensuring our services and digital content are accessible to all, including those with disabilities.
This commitment extends to adhering to the standards set by the Accessible Canada Act and the Employment Equity Act, guiding us in removing barriers and creating equitable opportunities across our digital landscape.
In Ontario, where the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) sets a benchmark for inclusivity, we proudly go above and beyond to ensure our web content is accessible, taking careful steps to comply with WCAG 2.0 Level AA guidelines.
We understand that accessibility enriches the user experience, fostering a sense of belonging and respect for all. You can read more about how we make our website accessible on our dedicated Accessibility page.
Our site reflects our belief in a barrier-free Canada. By integrating these accessibility standards and principles into our work, we’re not only enhancing our platform but also championing the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We’re committed to maintaining an accessible, welcoming space for every user, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to a diverse and inclusive online community.
We invite you to join us in this journey toward inclusivity. Explore our site, learn about our efforts, and see how you can be part of fostering a more inclusive online gaming environment.
Our DEI Compass: Leading Strategies and References
As we navigate the path toward greater diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within our organization and in the content we produce, we look to esteemed models and frameworks as our guiding lights.
Among these pivotal references are:
- The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy outlined by the official website of the Government of Canada,
- The comprehensive accessibility guidelines detailed by WebAIM, particularly as they pertain to Canadian law and the employment sector’s obligation towards accessible technology and
- The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario’s (AGCO) profound commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DIA).
These documents serve as our compass in formulating policies and practices and inspire our continuous effort to foster an inclusive environment.
They underscore the significance of building a workspace and a platform where every individual, regardless of their background, culture, gender identity, or ability, feels valued and included.
By aligning with these strategies and commitments, we aim to ensure that our actions and content reflect the principles of DEI at every level of our operation.
This alignment reaffirms our dedication to not just meeting but exceeding the standards set forth by leaders in diversity and inclusion, marking our steadfast commitment to being a part of the broader change towards inclusivity and accessibility in the digital age.
