I have a pub trivia company. I was contacted by a deaf individual about attending, and they seemed to think its my/ the venues responsibility to hire a interpreter for them. What are my responsibilities in this area? entrepreneur how earn by blogging blog

Hey guys, as the title says, I was recently contacted by a deaf individual about attending one of our nights. in their first message to me they asked about hiring an interpreter for them.

There is no audio portion to the trivia (like a name that tune) but the questions are asked out loud, and answers are written down.

I said that if they wanted to attend, I'd happily have questions printed out for them for each round, and have them seated near a the trivia host so they can at least contextually see whats happening, and that they shouldn't need an interpreter.

I'm doing my best to keep them informed, and keep it so the trivia would still be fair for the 100 other people in attendance.

After they purchased their ticket, they said they're still looking at interpreters, and from their initial statement i'd imagine they feel as though we are supposed to pay for it.

Our tickets are $10 per person, and that goes to having $300 in prizes, plus the cost of the host, plus basic operational costs... it all adds up. I looked into what an interpreter costs, and it could cost upwards of $400 for the duration of the event, which would shrivel our profits up to nothing - IF the event sells out.

I did offer them an additional ticket for a friend or the interpreter, if they choose to hire one, but I want to be sure that I can't really be expected to have to pay for this service; right?

This is in Canada btw.
