Feedback:

We strive to receive feedback through our process on implementing our accessibility plan, however as a business that does not cater to the public and the business is not open to the public, we requested feedback from employees and the safety committee, this includes anonymous and attributed feedback, of which no feedback was received. We continue to be open to feedback in the future and look to implement any necessary accessibility changes as they are required.

Consultations:

As a business that is not open to the public, this does not apply to our business, however we consulted within our organization, with our safety consultant, and our safety committee to identify accessibility issues if applicable and how to address any potential accessibility concerns.
