Universities in Canada and Web Standards

Posted by Jesse Rodgers on March 15, 2006 at 12:48 AM

A recent post on the webstandards.org buzz on Queens has caused a few emails to be about standards and the UW home page. Sometimes the UW home page doesn’t validate and that is fine. The fact is you can’t keep a page that is maintained by different tools and people valid at all times, nor should you have to, accessibility should be your top priority.

Another thing about that article is it may give the impression UW and Queens are the only two campuses in Canada working towards accessible, standards based design. There are lots of other Canadian Universities that have valid code on their home pages (and in my opinion better designed as well), two I can think of off hand (cause I checked first) is University of Victoria and University of Saskatchewan. As I find others I will list them but some schools are pretty close, like UBC.

I would say that is close enough to say congrats for all the work ;)
