About ATINS
The Association of Translators and Interpreters
of Nova Scotia (ATINS) is a provincial association founded
in 1990 with the following objectives:
- to give translators and interpreters of the province the
opportunity to meet and discuss matters of common concern,
and to provide a link with translators and interpreters
of other provinces and countries;
- to promote the profession and development of its members;
- to give users of translation services access to a body
of competent professionals.
When it was founded, ATINS became a member of the Canadian
Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters Council (CTTIC), on an equal footing
with previously-established associations of translators and
interpreters in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and the Northwest Territories.
ATINS takes part in all the meetings of CTTIC, and has a share
in its administration. CTTIC represents Canada within the International
Federation of Translators (FIT), which is also an advisory
body to UNESCO.
ATINS is also a member of the Metropolitan
Halifax Chamber of Commerce.
