I’m starting out the new new year with a positive discovery about the Canadian government. I’m sure this is no surprise to many, but today is the first time I noticed a federal program contact page that includes a video relay option. Deaf callers can download an app and then - when they need to contact the government regarding whatever - connect to an an operator who knows ASL to act as their interpreter/relay.

This makes me very happy.
