Paralympic Games programming that you watch on television, either over the air or through a cable or satellite company, will be 100% closed captioned. In addition, any Paralympic program Replay content that originally aired on television will have closed captions available for on-demand streaming.
However, Paralympic event Replays that you're streaming through Gem or the Paris 2024 site and app, for the most part, do not have captioning available. There may be different reasons for the absence of captions, including situations in which there was no audio commentary available to caption. In these situations, the option to enable captions is greyed out.
CBC is pleased to note that we meet or exceed all Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication (CRTC) requirements for accessibility and in May 2024 made public our Accessible Canada Act Plan to address the barriers to accessibility in all aspects of CBC/Radio-Canada.
