April 17, 2014 – Ottawa-Gatineau – Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) thanked the Community of Federal Regulators for honouring it with the 2013-14 Regulatory Excellence Awards in the areas of Collaboration, Leadership and Innovation.
The CRTC received the award for Collaboration for the video relay service proceeding, which was launched in March 2013. In partnership with Public Works and Government Services Canada’s translation bureau, the CRTC provided unprecedented access for Canadians who are Deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired.
The CRTC was also recognized as an innovator in engaging Canadians in new ways to develop a code of conduct for wireless service providers. The CRTC made extensive use of social media and other technologies to engage Canadians and include the public’s views in the discussion at a public hearing.
The CRTC congratulates all of this year’s award nominees and recipients for their outstanding contributions to improving the lives of Canadians.
