CDBA National

We have some exciting news! Established in 2022, the Canadian Deafblind Association Wayne Turnbull Memorial Scholarship honours the legacy of Wayne Turnbull, who was deafblind and a Board member of both CDBA National and the CDBA Alberta Chapter. cdbanational.com/about/awards/

It is officially June 1st, which is the start of Deafblind Awareness Month! Join us and our colleagues, sister agencies and the community in a series of celebrations and events taking place to raise awareness about deafblindness across Canada and around the world.

In the summer of 2021, the Intervenor Organization of Ontario is planning on hosting a virtual conference for intervenors over Zoom. They are recruiting 5-6 intervenors who would be interested in helping and plan this virtual conference. Apply here (docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSe0…...)

In conjunction with Deafblind Awareness Month, we ask for your support to help us win $20,000 as part of the Great Canadian Giving Challenge! Read more...canadahelps.org/en/gcgc/103700

Really excited to announce that the BC Provincial Government has declared June 2021 as Deafblind Awareness Month! #juneisdeafblindawarenessmonth #deafblind #deafblindawareness

A person who is deafblind can navigate their environment and be independent with the support of a professional intervenor. Intervenors act as the eyes and ears of a person who is deafblind.

We are yarn bombing community structures to help build awareness across Canada!

June is designated as Deafblind Awareness Month...help us spread the word! #nationaldeafblindawareness #deafblind #juneisdeadblindawarenessmonth
