This page explains how to view documents, use the website’s accessibility options, search for information and access screen-reader resources.

Viewing Information in Different File Formats

Information on this website may be provided as web pages (HTML) and downloadable documents such as PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Most current browsers can open HTML and many PDF files directly. Other documents may require a compatible application.

The following table lists common document formats and options for opening them. The software links lead to the respective providers’ websites.

Document formats and software for viewing them

Portable Document Format (PDF) Open in a compatible browser or PDF reader. Adobe Acrobat Reader (external website) — free PDF viewer

Document accessibility: The accessibility of downloadable documents depends on their structure, including text recognition, reading order, headings and alternative text for meaningful images. Opening a PDF in a reader does not, by itself, establish accessibility.

Legacy Flash content: Adobe Flash Player is discontinued and is not recommended for use. Modern browsers generally do not support Flash content.

Accessibility Help

The accessibility options available on this website are intended to make information easier to read and navigate. Use the accessibility icon displayed on the page to open the available controls. The options shown may vary by page or device.

Changing the Text Size

If text is difficult to read, use the text-size controls in the accessibility toolbar, where available:

  • Decrease text size: reduces the displayed text size.
  • Increase text size: enlarges the displayed text size.
  • Reset: restores the toolbar’s default settings, if this option is available.

You can also use your browser’s zoom controls. In most desktop browsers, press Ctrl and + to zoom in, Ctrl and - to zoom out, or Ctrl and 0 to restore the default zoom. On a Mac, use the Command key instead of Ctrl.

Contrast and Display Options

Open the accessibility toolbar and choose an available contrast or display option that makes the page easier to read. Use the reset option, if provided, to return to the original display. Your browser or device may also offer contrast, colour and magnification settings.

Some linked documents and external services may be available in a different language.
