Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility wishes to extend its gratitude to the Province of BC and several media companies for providing sign language interpretation on news broadcasting during the COVID-19 crisis. We also thank everyone for their interest to learn more about our sign language community and we encourage more coverage around this topic. We are living through unprecedented and challenging times, and it’s important that everyone be kept informed of the most current information available from our local and federal public officials. Everyone should be able to access this information readily, particularly for Deaf people who speak American Sign Language (ASL) as their first language. We are pleased to see that most public press conferences are now communicatively accessible to our ASL community.
