O'Canada

our Canadian national anthem in Canadian Sign Language (as in American Sign Language).... Born and raised in Canada, I felt that our national anthem needed a new facelift with a newer translation. So, my fellow Canadians, what do you think of the newer version? It is with special thanks to Philippe Kluk and Marianne "Mare" Aro for helping me with this project.

Awesome. I am a beginner ASL student and I want to teach my kindergarten class to sign O'Canada in ASL. This version of O'Canada is my favourite out of all that I could find on RUclips. I like the way signing is gracefully flowing in a dance like motion with a beautiful facial expressions in this interpretation. I just wish I could have signs matched with words to break them down for speaking children before signing the whole song. I had hard time understanding when signs did not much the lyrics and I could not read lips such as between parts, "...Native's land" and "True North". Thanks for posting.

+mmikitio smile :) Thank you :) I plan to make a high quality video with sound so that everything (the lyrics visually and audibly) is in sync...

Very beautiful artistic interpretation of the national anthem for the deaf ... understandable even with articulation, so that the content of the text is easier to get "into the veins" of deaf and hearing people as easily as possible ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for posting. I may have memorized the anthem in its original French but I'm long overdue in learning it in ASL.

Thank you so much. I can sing the anthem in English and its original French and thanks to you for Canada's 150th birthday I can sign the anthem as well. :)

Love this version of O Canada. Best one I have seen on RUclips. I work for an inclusive program in a hearing school and was wondering if we could please get your permission to add the O Canada text so that we could share it with our Hearing, Hard of Hearing and Deaf students.

+Rob Livingston Hi! Thank you :) Of course you have my permission. Would you like to have an original copy? To where can I email?

[@pmg1180]

beautiful but no sounds?

[@dawnjanibirley8019]

+pmg1180 It is because Deaf people do not need sound, however, I plan to make a high quality video with sound so that everything (the lyrics visually and audibly) is in sync...

[@goodnews7200]

it would be amazing if you had the song in background!

[@dawnjanibirley8019]

yeah that's one of my plans 😊
