Convo Canada Earns National Certification for Disabled-Owned Businesses Driving Representation in Canadian Supply Chains
Burnaby, BC- Convo Canada, a deaf-owned provider in real-time interpreting technology, has been officially certified by the Inclusive Workplace and Supply Council of Canada (IWSCC). This national certification recognizes Convo Canada’s leadership in building communication tools that centre deaf users first and support Canadian communities.
As a deaf-owned company run from Burnaby, Convo Canada is deeply rooted in local values, local talent and local trust. From our interpreting team to our leadership and community partners, our work reflects the lived experience of Canadians and the priorities of the people we serve.
The IWSCC certifies businesses owned by veterans and people with disabilities. For Convo Canada, the designation strengthens its presence in Canadian procurement networks and reinforces its mission: to center communication around the individual, not the system, and reflect the context of their lives.
Interpreting That Works Anywhere
Convo Canada’s platform allows deaf users to connect instantly with certified interpreters in American Sign Language (ASL) or Langue des Signes Québécoise (LSQ) anytime and anywhere. Whether in transit, at work, or using public services, users control when and how communication happens. Our technology is designed with deaf Canadian consumers in mind, reflecting both national access standards and the nuances of local communication.
One of Convo Canada’s most impactful innovations is its QR code-based solution, now active in over 1,290 locations across the world, including rail stations, health centers and community spaces. With a quick scan, users can launch Convo and connect to a live interpreter within seconds. No apps or logins required. Just immediate, user-led connection.
“Recognition by IWSCC reflects what we have always believed. Communication works best when it is deaf-led,” said Jarrod Musano, CEO of Convo. “And in Canada, it works best when it’s community-led too. Every interaction reflects that local commitment. Whether at a hospital or a transit station, it’s about giving them the power to decide what happens next.”
