Raising Awareness of ‘A Workplace for Everyone’ on Accessibility to Me Awareness Week 2024

In today's diverse landscape, fostering an inclusive and accessible workplace is essential for organizations to thrive. Embracing diverse talent not only enriches the workforce but also supports high employee retention and boosts business performance.


July 22nd-26th marks Recite Me’s annual awareness week, Accessibility to Me, a key day for celebrating the importance of inclusion.


This year, the theme is ‘A Workplace for Everyone’, a campaign dedicated to promoting the importance of inclusive recruitment and the creation of accessible workplaces. Highlighting how diverse talent can drive innovation and success, enhancing communication strategies, and strengthening connections with customers, staff, and stakeholders.


We are proud to offer Recite Me assistive tools on our website to empower every visitor to customize their digital experience according to their needs.


You can choose from a range of tools including, text-to-speech functionality, customizable styling options, reading aids, and a translation tool that boasts over 100 languages, including 65 text-to-speech voices.


"Inclusion is the foundation of a thriving society; it fosters diversity, promotes empathy, and ensures that every individual's voice is heard and valued. By embracing inclusion, we unlock the full potential of our communities and pave the way for a more equitable and compassionate world."


Over 1 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability or impairment, so we must prioritize inclusivity.


Together with Recite Me we are on a mission to create an inclusive digital world, in total Recite Me is used on over 5,000 websites and we are thrilled to embark on this journey with them.


Accessibility is important to us as it provides all users with equal access and opportunities, regardless of their individual circumstances. We are committed to online accessibility and this can be achieved with the use of the Recite Me Accessibility Checker and Assistive Toolbar.

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
