• This honors thesis examines the results of a research project that sought to discover which organizations within the city of Edmonton utilize translation and/or interpretation to provide their services. Focusing on organizations that assist newcomers, such as immigrants and refugees, this research established a series of maps that demonstrate the physical location of the organizations and a database highlighting their services. The thesis discusses the responses of participating organizations provided through surveys and interviews, providing information on challenges and successes faced in community translation and interpretation. Throughout the thesis, an examination of the research project describing what services are available and in which languages is supplemented by a discussion of survey and interview responses and scholarly articles. This examination provides a detailed representation of how and where community translation and interpretation exists within Edmonton and how it relates to the broader implementation of community translation and interpretation globally.
