Community interpreters boom in BC

In Campbell River, British Columbia, the language barrier is less of a challenge for new Canadians. Thanks to an online training course developed by the Provincial Language Service, local residents can learn interpretation skills to help immigrants. So far, interpretation is available in 10 languages at the Campbell River Immigrant Welcome Centre. By providing interpreters from the local community, organizers find newcomers feel welcome and respected. Learn more at Interpreters available at Immigrant Welcome Centre (www).
