The Canadian Association of Sign Language Interpreters (CASLI), formerly known as the Association of Visual Language Interpreters of Canada (AVLIC), is the national, non-profit certifying body for professional American Sign Language-English, Quebec Sign Language-French interpreters in Canada.[1][2][3]

History

The organization was established in 1979 as the Association of Visual Language Interpreters of Canada (AVLIC),[4][5] and in 2018 was renamed to the Canadian Association of Sign Language Interpreters.[6] As of 2022, it was the only national association representing interpreters in Canada.[7][8]

The organization has an "Email Buddy Program" for new interpreters.[7]

Governance and partnerships

CASLI offers membership to professional interpreters, students training to become interpreters, and certain deaf individuals.[7][9] Membership can be offered to interpreters who have not graduated from an interpreter training program through an alternative process.[10] There is a Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Professional Conduct for members.[11]

The organization operates under a national board with regional affiliate chapters (e.g., AQILS in Quebec). CASLI also maintains formal partnerships, such as with AQILS since 2016 and with Deaf-led organizations like CAD and CCSD.[12][13][14] Additionally, it is a member of the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters.[6]
