When, where and why we meet
We gather alternately in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa for an annual general meeting some time in April or May. We also organize various networking activities where members take part in terminology sessions, reference-sharing, and brainstorming groups for translation challenges.
Conferences and workshops led by both guest instructors and Network members top the agenda, along with plenty of opportunities for informal discussions and socializing

The Network Makes its Presence Felt
In 1993, the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO) recognized the innovative nature of the Network by selecting our founding president, Liliane Vincent, as the recipient of the first-ever ATIO Award for her contribution to the development of the language professions.

Fresh Ideas, Not Complacency
We continue to devote ourselves as energetically as ever through mutual assistance, professional development, linguistic research, meetings, scholarships… and now the Internet.
We’ve make full use of the power of technology. For instance, as well as communicating personally by e-mail, members can now call on all their colleagues at once for help by sending a message to our discussion listserv. Looking for inspiration to help you find an original expression? Can’t quite hit on exactly the right word — and you don’t have three weeks to think about it? Someone among the 80 or so subscribers to our listserv is bound to be able to come up with an answer to your problem, often in less than twenty-four hours.
Our on-line terminology databank, which contains all our published Recommandations terminologiques. is freely accessible to all.
