Our Services
Sign Language Interpreting
Wavefront Centre provides several sign language interpreting services to assist those who are Deaf, DeafBlind or Hard of Hearing who use sign language as a primary mode of communication.
We Help with Interpreting
American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary mode of communication for many Deaf Canadians. Professional ASL interpreters provide Deaf individuals with greater access to communication. Interpreters bridge communication barriers and facilitate clear understanding by conveying the purpose, tone, and spirit of messages between Deaf and non-Deaf individuals.
Wavefront is one of the largest providers of ASL interpreting services in Western Canada. We offer two distinct interpreting services: Community Interpreting Service (CIS) and Medical Interpreting Service (MIS). MIS provides interpreting services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing British Columbians in most interactions with health care providers. CIS provides interpreting services for non-medically related appointments in the community. All ASL interpreters booked by Wavefront Centre are professionally qualified, highly skilled and members of the Canadian Association of Visual Language Interpreters (CASLI). These interpreters are bound by its Code of Ethics and Guideline for Professional conduct.
