Season Preview and Wordpress Accessibility Day 2024

Welcome to Season 5 of The Legalmybiz.ca Podcast! I’m thrilled to bring you new episodes this Fall. Our mission is to offer practical legal tips to Canadian business owners, and this season, we’re focusing on accessibility.

Accessibility has been a major focus for me recently, and I've been working on it for the past few years. As we approach the end of 2024 and look ahead to the new year, I’m excited to delve deeper into this crucial topic.

In today’s episode, you’ll discover:

• An overview of accessibility in Canada and why it’s essential for businesses to address this issue.
  
  
• My personal motivation for enhancing accessibility in my own business and the steps I’ve taken towards this goal.
  
  
• Information about an upcoming free event dedicated to website accessibility—make sure to sign up!
  
  
• What sets this season apart from previous ones, along with a preview of the topics we’ll cover this Fall.
  
  
• A reminder of the business benefits of making your business more accessible.

Although accessibility legislation in Canada may not be as advanced as in the US or other countries, it’s on the horizon. Even before compliance becomes mandatory, I firmly believe that striving for accessibility is a smart business move in 2024.

I hope this season provides you with valuable, actionable insights to improve accessibility in your business. Join me on this journey to learn how to make your business more inclusive, and don’t miss our next episode featuring our first expert guest of the season.

Tune in and let’s get started!
