Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our website and social media will be accessible, we will have the internal tools needed to maintain an accessible website and social media presence. Our on-ice festival will be more accessible than in past years by the addition of four kicksleds to our fleet, and by providing resources and guidance for artists to build accessible projects, and we will have tools to get artist and audience feedback about our event's accessibility. We will evaluate our website and social media accessibility through a post-work professional evaluation. We will evaluate on-ice accessibility improvements and the effectiveness of artist accessibility guidance through written surveys from artists and audience members.
