June 9- The story of CLIA

The story of CLIA

 

It has been an incredible journey and a remarkable transformation for our sector.

 

Over the past 24 years, the Canadian Language Industry Association (CLIA) has brought together professionals and organizations committed to strengthening and advancing the language industry in Canada. Along the way, we have built lasting relationships and achieved important milestones together.

 

Among them:

  • The creation of the first National Standard for Translation Services in Canada (CAN/CGSB-131.10) and the corresponding certification framework for Translation Service Providers.

  • CLIA's instrumental role in the development of the National Standard for Community Interpreting Services and the associated certification framework.

  • CLIA's role as a founding member of the Ontario Council on Community Interpreting (OCCI), which later launched the Accreditation for Community Interpreters (ACI).

  • Continuing to serve as the voice of the Canadian language industry and to advocate for quality, professionalism, and standards.

In this special video, the founders share the story of CLIA—the challenges, the successes, and the many milestones that have shaped our profession over the last 24 years.

 

Our Director, Lola Bendana, who has served on the CLIA Board since its inception, also reflects on one important question:

 

"What was missing before CLIA?"

 

We invite you to watch the video and celebrate this remarkable journey with us
