Last Updated: June 10, 2026
Up North Lifestyle Co. is committed to providing an accessible online shopping experience for all customers, including people with disabilities. We aim to ensure our website, products, and services are inclusive and easy to use, in compliance with Canadian accessibility laws and standards, including the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and relevant federal regulations.
This Accessibility Statement supplements our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, which are available in accessible formats upon request.
For this statement, "business days" mean Monday through Friday, excluding statutory holidays in Ontario, Canada.
1. Accessibility Standards
We are working to meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards for web accessibility.
Our goal is to ensure that all users, regardless of ability, can access information, navigate our website, and complete purchases effectively.
2. Measures to Support Accessibility
To enhance accessibility, we:
-
Provide clear, simple, and readable text
-
Maintain logical and consistent website navigation
-
Include alternative text for images and graphics
-
Ensure adequate color contrast for readability
-
Make interactive elements, such as forms and buttons, accessible via keyboard navigation
-
Use accessible formats compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies
3. Known Limitations
While we are committed to accessibility, some content may not yet meet all accessibility standards, including:
-
Certain images, graphics, or videos without full descriptive text
-
Third-party tools, plugins, or content that may not be fully accessible
-
Downloadable files or PDFs that are not fully screen-reader compatible
-
Product images and mockups provided by our fulfillment partner, Printful, may not fully meet our accessibility standards. We are working with Printful to improve this over time.
