Resources for service providers serving newcomers
In a time when we are offering virtual services, we know that many clients struggle to connect with those services that they once used to access in person. Do you or your agency need to connect with individuals who require virtual interpretation support? Our social enterprise, Ottawa Language Access, can help! Contact us and a team member from the Ottawa Language Access program will connect with you to offer support.
