The City of Windsor retained BadEyes to audit our extensive public electronic resources. The resulting audit was timely, comprehensive and informative. Through that review our IT staff learned more about the value of accessibility in information technology and we have now begun to work towards meeting the requirements of Priority One. Geof’s work was top notch and has been invaluable in moving this project ahead.
