Accessibility for Customers with Disabilities

Purpose Statement
At GameStop Canada, we are committed to providing the best possible customer service while maintaining a respectful approach to all of our customers, regardless of their race, sex, financial status, creed or disability.

Assistive Devices
GameStop welcomes all customers into our locations. We recognize that some customers will attend our locations with Assistive Devices so that they can operate independently while shopping at our locations. Associates will take into account the customers' needs and abilities and offer assistance accordingly. Some types of assistive devices that could be encountered in our locations include the following:

  • Mobility Devices including – Wheelchairs, Walkers, Canes and Motorized Scooters
  • Listening Devices
  • Vision Enhancing Devices
  • Reaching Devices

Service Animals & Personal Support Workers
Service animals are more than welcome to enter our locations and accompany the customer they are with; unless prohibited due to bylaws. Associates will be trained in properly working with customers who have service animals. In the event that we cannot visibly ascertain whether an animal is a service animal or personal pet, we reserve the right to ask the customer to provide some type of documentation such as an identification card from the Ministry of the Attorney General or a letter from a health care practitioner.

Communications
Customers are encouraged to attend or contact any of our stores or our Customer Service Department should they have any questions. Associates will be trained to handle questions and work appropriately with the inquiring customer to provide as much assistance as possible.

Notice of Temporary Disruption
At times, there may be instances where GameStop Canada locations experience temporary service disruptions including access to the facilities; either planned or unexpected. In the event of a service disruption at a specific location, the District Manager or Area Manager of the location will be contacted who will then give further direction to the individual location in regards to a temporary closure. A communication notice will be posted on the front door including the reason of the disruption, the estimated length of disruption and an alternative location which the customer can attend. In the event that all locations experience a service disruption; a notice will be posted online at www.gamestop.ca.

Training of Associates
At GameStop Canada we employ both paid associates and in certain markets, co-op students from local schools. All associates will be trained on our Accessibility for Customers with Disabilities – Standards for Customer Service Training Program. Part of this program is to complete a quiz once the training is completed and to sign-off on a Training Acknowledgement. This training program will be reviewed and updated at minimum on a yearly basis.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA – Website
AudioEye certifies that the GameStop website is being optimized to substantially conform with AudioEye’s interpretation of the informative guidance provided by WCAG 2.1 AA. In this ongoing effort, certified accessibility professionals have already made progress to remove access barriers and will continue to enhance this site for optimal accessibility and usability for all users.

Store Construction & Renovations
GameStop Canada is a progressive company that will continue to grow and serve our communities across the country. As such, we will construct new locations and renovate or relocate existing locations. Throughout the process, we will assess each project and ensure that accessibility standards will be factored into each project. Entry and exit points of each location will be of a width to allow for wheelchair accessibility. There will be minimal elevation change from the threshold between the exterior of the store and the sales area. Stores payment processing equipment will have a tether cable that will cater to people at all heights. Our stores do not have public restrooms.

Potential Barriers:

  • Bollards in parking lot
  • Sidewalk ramps
  • Entrances/ Doors
  • Stairs
  • Pod Display Tables
  • Products displayed on higher racks
  • Interactive Displays
  • Sales Floor Displays
  • Cash Wrap Dimensions

In situations where there is a potential barrier encountered, we will do our best to accommodate our customers. However, some barriers cannot be removed as they can be out of our control, for example, landlord property etc.

Marketing & Media
Our stores have various types of marketing and media located through the store. This includes marketing and media produced from our company (posters, signage and flyers) as well as from our various vendors. We have interactive displays that allow customers to try out consoles and sample (demo) games. We also have television displays with video advertising. Copies of our company produced flyers and promotions are available online on our webpage. If you have a specific request, please contact us (see below for our contact information). We will make our best effort to accommodate your request.

Emergency Plans & Procedures
Where applicable, GameStop Canada will ensure that points of egress to and from the location are kept clear and accessible to the best of each location's ability. Our associates will be trained to assist in locating and directing customers to the nearest and safest point of egress in the event of an emergency.

Equal Employment Opportunity
GameStop Canada is committed to hiring qualified individuals to perform the many responsibilities necessary for the success of our business. This includes providing equal opportunity for all employment candidates regardless of race, sex, financial status, creed or disability. Accommodation to enable candidates with disabilities to participate in the interview process is available upon request.
