Hopefully there's a timeline for other provinces coming onboard soon! #COVID19

[OpenConcept @openconcept_ca]

Really neat to learn on @re_open_gov about the work that @CDS_GC did to improve & modernize on the NATO phonetic alphabet to improve service level #accessibility - important to think of how some letters/numbers cause confusion in EN/FR & how to improve https://t.co/DvwR9PPkXv

[OpenConcept @openconcept_ca]

Definitely want to learn more @emilykuret about the work that you did to eliminate O/0 & your efforts to produce an aurally understandable one time code that would eliminate wasted confusion. Lots to learn from this & hoping there is a follow-up blog to https://t.co/exGFg8svBP

Haven't played with Twitter's scheduled tweets, but looks like I'm going to have to....

Who in @joomla & @typo3 are spearheading #accessibility? You don't get accessibility results like this by accident! https://t.co/irHPocZs6t /c @webaim @JoomlaDeveloper @TYPO3Assoc #Joomla #Typo3

[OpenConcept @openconcept_ca]

We are pleased to be advising the #We4Authors cluster on improving the authoring interface https://t.co/S8DtGHshpg @mgifford has contributed a lot to #ATAG in @Drupal but still much to learn from others about ways to improve.

@gregobr @DemocracyWatchr @ACT_Concordia @dogwoodbc I didn't write this report, but worth looking at the maps we can see from @ciranews https://t.co/f5PxoKk8ZY

Maybe the @CRTCeng has an updated version of this map that would align with your position:
