ASL-English Interpreting Services:
If you need to access services from a healthcare professional (doctor, nurse, etc.), the link below will take you the Canadian Hearing Services (CHS) Interpreting Services webpage and information about how to book an interpreter:
https://www.chs.ca/service/chs-interpreting-services
CHS will work with you to have an interpreter either virtually (online) or in person.
Canada’s Supreme Court ruled:
Sign language interpreters must be provided in the delivery of medical services where doing so is necessary to ensure effective communication (Eldridge v British Columbia (AG), (1997) 3 SCR 624).
It is a constitutional obligation for hospitals to provide interpreters for ASL patients.
