POPDHH is pleased to announce its latest project; we have created a dictionary of BC city/town names in American Sign Language, and Indigenous Sign Language names for ten lower mainland territories. Our goal was to ensure ASL signs for city/town names are commonly and consistently used within the Deaf community by native users of ASL. We hope you and your students enjoy learning these signs for our BC communities. Please  reach out to us with feedback or questions.

Sign names are based on the following criteria:

• We have collected sign names from Deaf residents of British Columbia.
• We have collected sign names from some Deaf people who visit a city often and know the correct sign for that city.
• For BC cities without an established sign name, we fingerspell the city names. Some city names are fingerspelled by the Deaf community living there.
