Join host Corey for an insightful conversation with digital accessibility experts Garth Holmes, co-founder of Be Responsive Media, and Kirsten Dodd, CEO of Haynova, as they tackle one of the most overlooked yet essential aspects of inclusion: making the digital world accessible to everyone.

Drawing from decades of experience in web development, design, and inclusive technology, Garth and Kirsten move beyond compliance checklists to explore the human impact of digital barriers—and how to remove them.

Key topics include:

• Why third-party tools and platforms are often the biggest roadblocks to accessibility and how to advocate for change
• The power of auditing with people who have disabilities and how it transformed the ACE Project website
• How inaccessible apps during COVID-19 put people at risk and why digital access is a matter of food security, health, and dignity
• Debunking the myth that accessibility limits creativity and how it actually strengthens your brand and user experience
• Practical, low-cost ways to start: from browser extensions like WAVE to listening to your site with a screen reader
• Why empathy, not just compliance, drives lasting change, and how to build it into your team’s process
• Where to find grants and resources in Nova Scotia to support your accessibility journey

Whether you’re a developer, designer, marketer, or business leader, this episode is packed with real stories, actionable strategies, and a clear message: digital accessibility isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have for reaching and respecting your entire community.
