Accessibility

We are continually incorporating into our Web Site the Universal Accessibility concept - serve our large audience by following guidelines set out by the AODA - The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and the World Wide Web Consortium.

If you require communications in an alternative format, you can request accessible formats and communication supports using our Accessible Document Request Form.

The City of Burlington Web Site audience includes those users with disabilities. If you have a suggestion on ways to improve the accessibility of the City's Web Site, please email the Web Editor.

This accessibility statement is limited to the Web Site of the City. The City assumes no responsibility for web sites that are linked to, hosted by or otherwise electronically connected to the City's Web Site or Web Servers.

Accessibility at voting locations

  • Availability of magnifiers
  • Assistance from a friend or support person in marking your ballot
  • Service animals are welcome at all voting locations

Voting locations

  • City of Burlington has conducted site inspections of all voting locations to ensure they meet site accessibility standards
  • Electors are able to vote in any voting location in their ward
  • Election workers are hired to assist and open doors where power assist is not available
  • Election officials can bring the ballot outside the voting location if you are unable to enter it due to mobility restrictions.

Interpreters and intervenors

Voters in Burlington who require an American Sign Language interpreter to vote in-person at a voting location, may book an appointment through Canadian Hearing Services. Voters who require an intervenor may book through the CNIB DeafBlind Community Services. The cost for these services will be billed directly to the City of Burlington by the service providers.
