Translation for Government
In recent years, Canada has undergone a significant change in its demographics, especially in the major cities. The 2006 Census showed that almost 20% of our total population was born outside of Canada. With an immigrant population representing diverse ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, the percentage of those who are not proficient in the official languages - English and French -- is on the rise.

All levels of government are depending more heavily on translated materials to reach out to these new constituencies -- not simply as a gesture of goodwill but as a true necessity for effective communication and a demonstration of inclusivity.

Translated materials are critical for the following agencies:
Federal - immigration policies and regulations, settlement services, election procedures and more...
Provincial - health care policies, educational system, public health alerts, transport licensing requirements and more...
Municipal - zoning changes, waste management, services, community events, public meetings and more...
Police - community information, emergency assistance, law enforcement, public alerts and more...
Politicians can also elicit better response from residents if newsletters, election flyers and other communication materials are available in their native language.

Giving Everyone a Voice
The availability of government materials in different languages is crucial for:
- Disseminating important information accurately and consistently to different communities
- promoting understanding of citizenship rights and obligations
- consulting the publics opinions on government legislation, policies or specific issues
- encouraging community involvement

Information packages are also required for international communication, including trade missions, overseas government offices, visiting delegations from foreign countries and more.
