Message from the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director
Dear VRS Callers,
I am honoured and excited to be appointed CAV’s new CEO and Executive Director. As a Deaf person, I understand the tremendous value Canada VRS brings to the Canadian Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities.
Canada VRS has been operating for over seven years and has connected almost 3.5 million VRS calls. The service has continually evolved with innovations to meet the needs of Canadian VRS callers, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. As CAV continues to grow, our goal remains to provide a quality VRS that meets the needs of our community.
I look forward to working with the CAV team, our interpreters, and the VRS community.
Thank you for your continued support.
