Why it matters
Deaf employees shouldn’t have to wait for access. VRI On-Demand makes accessibility immediate, reduces communication delays, and helps your team stay productive and inclusive.
Asign’s VRI On-Demand supports both American Sign Language (ASL) and Langue des signes québécoise (LSQ).
What the law says
- The Canadian Human Rights Act and Accessible Canada Act (ACA) require employers to identify and remove barriers for people with disabilities, including Deaf individuals.
- The duty to accommodate means providing support unless it causes undue hardship.
- Under the ACA, ASL, LSQ, and Indigenous sign languages are recognized as the primary languages of Deaf Canadians.
- Provincial laws such as Ontario’s AODA and BC’s Accessibility Act reinforce these duties and recommend adherence to WCAG for digital communications.
Failure to comply with these regulations can result in complaints or legal consequences. But beyond compliance, embracing accessibility shows leadership and opens your workplace to diverse talent.
