>> Accessibility – requesting accommodation
This town hall has been designed to be accessible. CAPE provides common accessibility measures, including online access, English and French audio interpretation, ASL and LSQ interpretation, and communication access real-time translation (CART) captioning.
However, we encourage members who require additional accommodation to inform us of their needs using our registration form no later than January 30, 2024 so that we can take measures to accommodate your needs, where possible. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate requests received after this deadline.
>> Discussion: microphone required to protect interpreters’ health and safety
CAPE would like to do its best to allow for participation while respecting the health and safety requirements of its interpreters.
While participants will be allowed to join in the conversation, using a proper microphone will be mandatory.
Cellphones, earbuds or wireless headsets are not approved for speaking due to the health and safety risks the sound can pose to the interpreters.
>> Sound check needed to participate verbally
Participants who want to engage in the conversation verbally will be required to log on 15-30 minutes early to do a sound check with the technicians. Participants who wish to speak must:
- be identified by name and local or department
- turn on their camera when speaking
- have a headset with a built-in mic and wired USB connection
The technicians, interpreters and CAPE staff reserve the right to cut off microphones or not interpret should the sound not be of adequate quality to ensure the health and safety of interpreters.
>> Speakers must identify themselves
Members who wish to engage in the conversation must be identified by their name and local or department. Anonymous participation is not allowed as this is a members-only event.
Participants will be able to ask questions verbally and through the Q&A function.
>> Send us your questions in advance or during the meeting!
You may send questions ahead of or during the meeting to general@acep-cape.ca.
Stay tuned for more information.
