The Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC), a non-profit private organization in collaboration with 27 member sport organizations, is unwavering in its commitment to the transformative power and impact of Paralympic sport.
With a vision set on an inclusive world realized through Paralympic sport, they tirelessly work to deliver best-prepared teams for game excellence, all while being a beacon for disability inclusion and accessibility.
The Digital Challenge
Previously, the CPC grappled with an outdated website, limited internal development skills, and multiple outdated digital tools. Their audience, which has specific web accessibility needs, also found it challenging to navigate the site, affecting user experience and engagement. Furthermore, the Committee faced hurdles in integrating their content with social media and video platforms and streamlining their online donation process.
