As a result of previous assignments, we have extensive documentation on hand for this client. Much of the SSC-specific terminology and expressions can be found on this client's website that has both English and French versions. (See accompanying links above.)

One English term in particular comes up frequently in the SSC documentation: SSC Branch. Speed Skating Canada describes itself as a national association. As such, it counts as members a number of sub-organizations that are distributed in the provinces and territories. These organizations are (at times) interchangeably referred to as clubs, associations, federations and branches. For purposes of clarity, in French the client has instructed us to adopt the wording "association/fédération membre" (plural: associations/fédérations membres) to describe a Branch, so as to distinguish a branch from a local speed skating association or club ("association locale" or "club") which may operate under the auspices of a branch.

Note however, that the term "association membre" currently appears in a number of reference documents. Also, the SSC website (French version) refers to provincial and territorial entities simply as "fédérations". However, this term is rarely seen in SSC documentation. On the other hand, the Quebec branch is called "Fédération de patinage de vitesse du Québec (FPVQ)".

Time-Saving Tip #2: The process of toggling between English and French pages can be a bit arduous in some instances. One technique that works for us is to open two web pages, one that is kept on the location of the English, while the second is scrolled to find the French equivalent.
