Darlene O’Donohue, Director of Service Delivery,
Multilingual Community Interpreter Services

Multilingualism is an ever-growing concern in our community. Intimate-relationship violence clients who have language barriers are considered one of the highest risk populations of those we serve. MCIS provides language services with government and community agencies across south central Ontario to ensure that these clients have access to essential services. Learn how your agency might access these services under this Ministry of Citizenship funded program.
