April 22, 2014 – the time has arrived!

A little something from the BCVRS committee to share our thoughts & excitement about the fantastic news that CRTC gave us yesterday!

The Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunication Commissioners (CRTC) officially announced its approval for a permanent VRS in Canada coming in Fall 2015.

It brought immense joy to the BCVRS committee and everyone else nationwide (& worldwide).

So of course the BCVRS seized the opportunity to share few words and excitement about this fantastic news by producing this short & sweet video for you!

Our heartfelt thanks to the CRTC and everyone involved in the campaign for VRS in BC & Canada.

ASL only for now, audio/captions will come later. We were just too thrilled to pieces and just wanted to get the vibes out there from our Committee to the Deaf Canada community, we will do the rest ASAP!
