Ukrainian translators needed in Saskatchewan

Mar 29, 2022 | 4:00 PM

The City of North Battleford announced at this week’s council meeting people who speak Ukrainian are being asked to volunteer their services to help people coming to Canada escaping the war in Ukraine.

The Saskatchewan Association of Immigrant Settlement and Integration Agencies (SAISIA) has put out a call from the National Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) for volunteer translators and interpreters.

People who are interested can contact the UCC and the Canada-Ukraine Foundation (CUF) Ukraine Humanitarian Relief Committee
here.

The committee stated in an email it hopes to maintain a pool of volunteers who can work directly with lawyers and other professionals offering pro-bono services, settlement agencies, and other non-profit organizations.

Locally, the City of North Battleford has decided to leave the Ukrainian flag flying outside city hall for the month of April to continue to show support for the Ukrainian community in the area while the conflict continues overseas in Ukraine. The flag was first erected on March 2.
