The program began in 1987 with funding from the province. Its main mandate is to help immigrant and refugee women, especially those who have been abused. The course lasts two days per week for five weeks and much of their work after is for women who’ve lived with violence. Graduates of the program have gone on to interpret in court, at shelters and anywhere else the skill is needed. They offer interpretation in more than 90 languages.
