Toronto, Ontario — Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce (CQCC), has launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a Translation Project.
Objective:
CQCC is seeking an experienced translation agency to ensure that CQCC’s materials are accurately translated into both English and French, with a significant focus on gender-inclusive language. The outcomes of the translation project should align with the organization’s vision, mission, and value —namely, alignment with the Federal 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan and greater inclusion for all 2SLGBTQI+ communities.
Last year, the CQCC was tasked with administering the first-ever 2SLGBTQI+ Entrepreneurship Program. Expansion of our services and programming requires ensuring that all documents and communications are available in English and French.
The successful bidder will become CQCC’s preferred translation partner for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, representing up to $25,000 in translation services fees. This budget is representative of the translation work we intend to complete in 2024-2025, but CQCC does not intend to commit to minimum volumes or fees. After selection of the preferred translation partner, translation work will be conducted on an as-needed basis as directed by CQCC.
