French language services

The LTB’s documents and forms are available in both French and English. If you submit an application in French, the LTB will proceed with a bilingual hearing and assign a bilingual member to your hearing. If you are a responding party and would like to request a hearing or mediation in French, complete the Request for French Language Services Form. If you are submitting a request for French-language services, please do so as soon as possible and well in advance of your hearing date.
