Just a quick note to add to everything posted above . . . as of January 2012 - the Accessibility Act came into effect for Ontario websites (Information & Technology phase of the Act) -- with government (city, municipal, federal, school boards) to comply first -- The City of Hamilton has not complied -- this is NOW LAW, nor does their new website comply.

I am an expert in accessible web design (for visually and hearing impaired) - trust me - neither site complies . . . they had years of notice to make their current site comply and they have not. The consulting company out of Ottawa should have MADE SURE that the new site complied (not to mention the shoddy job that was done building that site). I could have built that site in compliance within about 3 days flat (not kidding). (Not that I would ever work for the City, because I wouldn't).
