Website Accessibility

Steps Taken

The City of Niagara Falls has taken steps to ensure that all visitors to our website will be able to get the information they need. We also offer an alternative site that is text-only along with the ability to have the text of the website read out loud to the visitor.

The alternative version of our website will appeal to such users as:

visitors with a disability
Mobile users (Cell phone, PDA, etc)
Low bandwidth users (dial-up)
... and many more

Please visit our Text only site at text.niagarafalls.ca - the text only version of www.niagarafalls.ca.

In order to have each web page read out loud, click on the blue speaker icon (

) located at the top of each content section.

Feel free to view the City of Niagara Falls Accessible Customer Service Policy for additional information.

Usability Features

This site is customizable by the visitor. At the bottom of each page, you can change the font colour, background colour, text size, menu layouts and more. You can also switch back and forth between the text-only version and the graphical site by clicking on the link at the bottom of each text-only page.

Accessing the Text Only Version

The text only version of niagarafalls.ca is easily accessible from any page on the site. On the left side of each page, there is a link to the 'Text-only version'. Clicking on that link will open the same page in the text version.
