A couple of articles and some general comments on heuristics…
“Notes on Client-Rendered Accessibility”: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/05/client-rendered-accessibility/ - this is a good dive (from 2015) into the various issues that can happen with client-side Javascript frameworks like Knockout. A lot of it will be familiar to you from WCAG – frameworks don’t really introduce any new problems, they just give you many new ways to create them.
“CSS and Javascript accessibility best practices”: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Accessibility/CSS_and_JavaScript - another good overview of issues that can arise from Javascript. Again, nothing that will be unfamiliar, but may be a good resource to send to developers.
From a blog post I never completed in 2014 that may be of interest, posting publicly because of this tweet: https://twitter.com/BaharakY/status/928714522646347776
Compiled from various sources around the internet - have tried to separate tax contributions from other sources of operating budget funding, probably imperfectly (don't feel certain about the Montreal ones in particular, due to lack of French fluency); not trying for accuracy here, just a cross-comparison. 2014 numbers. Rounded up to nearest million. In order of size of city.

Screenshot is of the results of the "Contact Us" form on Toronto Public Library's website and contains the following text:
I would like an explanation as to why the two recent Director positions (Policy, Planning and Performance Management & Digital Services and Emerging Technologies) are posted on external job sites such as https://partnershipjobs.ca/jobs?type_id=-1&org_name=toronto+public+library&keywords=&country_id=1039&province_id=&city= but not not on the library's own website at http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/about-the-library/library-jobs/
I do not consider it appropriate that the library not post executive-level positions it is recruiting for on its own web site; aside from the reasonable expectation that job seekers should be able to consult the library's own site for all currently available positions, it obscures information that members of the public have a right to
