Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on March 27, 2026.

We at the Canadian Doctors Orchestra are working to make our site, canadiandoctorsorchestra.ca, accessible to people with disabilities.

​

As medical professionals, our commitment to care extends beyond the clinic and into the concert hall. We believe that the joy, connection, and healing power of music should be entirely accessible to everyone, whether you are browsing our website, looking to join our ensemble, or attending a performance.

​

Our Digital Space We are continually working to ensure that our website, canadiandoctorsorchestra.ca, is welcoming and easy to use for all visitors, regardless of ability or technology. We strive to follow best practices for web accessibility so that everyone can navigate our digital home comfortably. Some of the ways we do this include:

  • Using clear, readable fonts and high-contrast colors.

  • Providing descriptive text for our images so they can be read by screen readers.

  • Structuring our web pages clearly so they can be navigated easily using a keyboard.

 

(Note: While we strive for full accessibility on our own site, we sometimes link to third-party platforms for ticket sales or video hosting, which are outside of our direct control.)

​

Our Concerts and Venues When we come together to perform, we prioritize selecting venues that share our dedication to inclusivity. For our physical events, we actively seek out concert spaces that offer:

  • Barrier-free entrances, wheelchair-accessible seating, and accessible restrooms.

  • Close proximity to accessible parking and public transit options.

  • Supportive environments for all attendees. (Check specific event pages for details on venue-specific features like hearing loop systems).

 

We Want to Hear From You Accessibility is an ongoing journey. If you encounter any barriers on our website, have trouble accessing our content, or have specific accommodation requests for an upcoming concert, please reach out. Your feedback helps us do better.

Requests, issues, and suggestions

The Canadian Doctors Orchestra’s volunteer staff are situated on traditional, unceded, and treaty territories across B.C. and Alberta. We honour and value the culture, spirituality and governance of the first peoples of so-called Victoria and Calgary, including but not limited to the Lək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Xʷsepsəm/Esquimalt) Peoples and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, as well as the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot Confederacy), the Îyârhe Nakoda of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations, and the Dene of the Tsuut’ina First Nation. Southern Alberta is also home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, Calgary Elbow District. We look to Indigenous artists, musicians, and healthcare professionals to decolonize our understandings of medicine and music as healing community practice.
