Stay current on accessibility

Nunavummi Disabilities Makinnasuaqtiit Society (NDMS) is a respected and well-used disability organization serving all of Nunavut. They provide support and advocacy for people with disabilities and were dismayed to learn their website wasn’t very accessible. It was important to build a site that reflected the community and was accessible as soon as possible.

Collaborating with Easy Surf, we did a thorough test of our custom theme to meet and exceed WCAG 2.2 standards. We used this as the base of the build. NDMS had a great selection of professional photos and a logo we could use as a starting point. We used their brand colours to create bold areas of colour to distinguish separate areas of the site.

This week, Rob and Ryan dive into the world of digital accessibility with special guest Noah Senecal-Junkeer, Co-founder of Easy Surf. Noah shares his deeply personal journey living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and how his own challenges using tools like speech recognition software inspired him to help reshape digital access for others.

They discuss how Easy Surf is changing the game, literally. From website audits to playtesting video games, Easy Surf’s team of testers with lived experience is proving that accessibility is better when it’s built-in from the start, not bolted on later.

What does ‘accessibility’ mean in game design?

We sat down with the team from Easy Surf (a game and web accessibility consultancy) to discuss this topic that’s becoming more urgent and more transformative every year.

From design misconceptions to business strategy, we covered why accessibility matters and how even small changes can unlock your game for millions of players.

We’re proud to share our Annual Benefit Report for fiscal year 2024—a look at how Easy Surf is living our values as a disability-led business.

Inside, you’ll find highlights from our impact work, honest reflections on where we fell short, and the steps we’re taking to grow a more inclusive digital future.

Tamara and Noah join accessibility advocate and content creator Carrie Morales for a candid conversation about the digital accessibility landscape—what’s working, what needs to change, and how Easy Surf came to be.

Together, they share lived experiences, industry insights, and advice for aspiring accessibility testers.

New digital accessibility rules are coming under the Accessible Canada Act—impacting everything from websites to mobile apps to digital documents.

As someone who uses assistive tech daily, Tamara breaks down what’s changing, who’s affected, and how your organization can start preparing.
