Our Language Rights Canada 2022, the 2nd annual Conference sponsored by MCIS Language Solutions, is the flagship event for all Canadian language advocates interested in issues relating to language justice across the spectrum of official, Indigenous and newcomer languages. The purpose of the event is to convene various non-profit agencies, social service providers, academia, government officials, language professionals (interpreters, translators, other), language enthusiasts, and artists working at the intersection of language and health, housing, food, gender, distributive and environmental justice, among others.

The impact of COVID-19 on the global and Canadian economy, the pressure created on health and social services and the language industry sector have been unprecedented. In that respect, language access, particularly related to emergency and health communication over the past two years, has become an essential and critical component in achieving Canada’s commitment to justice and diversity as well as the ability to mitigate risks to public safety within the critical communications systems.
