ACA on Vue: complete compliance checklist
Implementing ACA compliance on Vue means addressing the platform's specific failure modes (custom components, transition handling without reduced-motion) while applying Accessible Canada Act success criteria across content, code, and editorial workflow.
ACA in 60 seconds
The Accessible Canada Act (ACA, 2019) requires federally regulated entities — federal government, banks, telecom, broadcasting, transportation — to identify, remove and prevent accessibility barriers, with the explicit goal of "a Canada without barriers by 2040" and detailed regulations layered on top including the ICT regulations referencing EN 301 549.

Vue's template syntax encourages semantic HTML more than React's JSX abstraction. Failures originate in custom interactive components.

Putting it together
Combine ACA's Level AA requirements with Vue's native tooling. Bake accessibility into your component library and editorial workflow; instrument axe-core in CI for regression.
