The Association of Translators and Interpreters of Alberta / Association des traducteurs et interprètes de l'Alberta (ATIA) is the only association of certified translators and conference interpreters in the province of Alberta. The Association was founded in 1979 and is the only member for Alberta of The Canadian translators, terminologists and Interpreters Council (CTTIC). Through CTTIC, the Association is affiliated with International Federation of Translators (FIT).
ATIA is an association of translators and interpreters with members throughout the province. Association members may be freelancers, independent translators, employees of translation / interpretation firms, government or corporate in-house translators. All members of the Association are bound by a Code of Ethics ensuring the quality of their work and guaranteeing confidentiality.
The primary aim of the ATIA is to meet the needs of clients by ensuring, through its standards and certification procedures, that their interests are protected, and by facilitating their contacts with professional translators and interpreters.
The ATIA Membership is represented and served by an Executive Council, which is elected at the Annual General Meeting.
