Communication matters!

1. Request tools that match your communication style

Your communication preferences matter. Make sure your workplace knows what works best for you.

2. Ask for sign language interpretation

You have the right to professional interpretation in ASL or LSQ during onboarding, training, and meetings.

3. Participate in all conversations

Access shouldn’t just be for big meetings. Tools like VRI On-Demand help make quick check-ins, last-minute chats, and casual conversations accessible too. Without the wait.

You have rights

Under the Accessible Canada Act and the Canadian Human Rights Act, your employer must remove barriers and provide accommodations—unless doing so causes undue hardship.

ASL, LSQ, and Indigenous sign languages are officially recognized as the primary languages of Deaf people in Canada.

Provincial laws like Ontario’s AODA and BC’s Accessibility Act reinforce these rights—and recommend accessible digital communication under WCAG guidelines.
