How a new COVID testing site is bridging the information gap for South Asian Canadians

The Embassy Grand used to be one of Brampton’s busiest wedding halls and event venues, but these days, it operates as a COVID-19 testing centre. The hall, once bursting with loud music and fancy dresses, has been transformed into a quiet and safe testing centre for the city’s large South Asian population. On Saturday afternoon, Monika Bhatoe was standing in line awaiting the opportunity to be tested after her mother, a native Punjabi speaker, told her where she could get tested. “She saw a poster at the grocery store and read it in Punjabi and she told me where to go,” she said. Having signs in Punjabi helps, says Bhatoe, pointing out there is a communication gap and, oftentimes, nuance missing from the English COVID-19 messaging coming from the province.
