Accessibility Statement
CLBC is committed to providing a website that meets current accessibility standards, including those defined by the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. CLBC is actively engaged in the ongoing process of testing our website for compliance with current accessibility standards.

Website Accessibility
As the web has become widespread, people with disabilities face being locked out of many opportunities for communication, commerce, and community if websites are not accessible to them. CLBC believes accessibility is the right of all individuals, and we are committed to ensuring our website meets Priority 1 and 2 of the W3C's WCAG guidelines.

Content Accessibility

Our website depends on third party technologies provided by operating system, hardware platforms and assistive technologies and we are governed by privacy guidelines, all of which can affect the level of accessibility of our content.
