We are dedicated to providing access to all individuals, with or without disabilities looking for information on our website, and we try hard to make the Cambridge Hotel & Conference Centre website universally accessible. Below, you will find some suggestions to assist you in making your browsing experience more accessible.

If you have difficulty seeing website pages, suggests these tips for optimizing your computer and browser to enhance your online experience.

Website Readers
If you are visually impaired website reading software like ChromeVox or can help read the website content to you. Website reading software like ChromeVox, which is an add-on extension to the Chrome website browser, can help. There are also other website readers that work with a computers operating system (OS) that provide more universal coverage outside of website browsing.

Closed Captioning
Closed captioning offers a transcript for the audio track of a video presentation that is matched with the video and audio tracks. Captions are commonly visually presented over the video, which benefits individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing and anyone who cannot hear the audio because of loud environments. Learn how to turn captioning on and off in YouTube.

Volume Controls
Most computers, tablets, or mobile device have volume control features, and each video and audio service has its own additional volume controls. Try adjusting both your device’s volume controls and your media players’ volume controls to optimize your listening experience.

Accessible Documents
Many documents on our web pages are in ASCII or HTML format, which are accessible to people who use screen reading software and to those with other vision or mobility impairments. Generally, we use Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to create pages and documents that are accessible to those users.

Our website also contains many Adobe Acrobat PDF (Portable Document Format) files. We use this method when documents are not available in digital form, are too large or difficult to produce in HTML, or are publications where the format is critical to the usability of the document. Adobe Systems, Inc. is developing products designed to make PDF documents more accessible. Adobe’s accessibility web pages describe their efforts.

  • Be sure to select the version of Adobe Acrobat Reader that is compatible with your system.
  • Follow the installation instructions completely. (After the download, you will need to install the file by running the executable (.exe file) from your operating system.)
  • Configure your browser options.
  • Upgrade your version of Adobe Acrobat Reader periodically to use the latest features.
  • Contact Adobe Systems, Inc. if you are having trouble installing or using their products.

If the recommendations above do not meet your needs, or if you have any questions, concerns, or comments regarding the accessibility of any particular web page on this website, please contact us at 519.624.7752 so that we can address the matter. We take your feedback seriously and will consider it as we evaluate ways to accommodate all of our website visitors.

Temporary disruptions in our services and facilities may occur due to reasons that may or may not be within our control or knowledge.  Regardless, we will make all reasonable efforts to provide notice of planned or unplanned disruptions, recognizing that advance notice may not always be possible—especially in the case of an emergency disruption.

This notice will include information about the reason for the disruption, and its anticipated duration, and a description of alternative facilities or services, if available.  Notice will be provided by a variety of methods, depending on the circumstances, and may include postings in obvious places at the residential complex, in other facilities of the residential complex, on our website or by any other means that will reasonably ensure that the notice reaches those persons potentially affected by the temporary disruption in a manner that is accessible to them.

Upon request, The Cambridge Hotel and Conference Centre shall provide this policy and any other forms relating in a format that takes into account the disability of the person submitting the request.
