A message from the National Director of Program Operations. As part of DBCS’ strategic mandate, we are looking to advocate and expand the services that are available across the country.

Hello everyone! I am writing from our forest city in London, Ontario and I am truly glad to share a message on behalf of the Literacy Department!

Did you know that there many different types of communication methods used by people who are Deafblind? 

People all across the world have turned to virtual platforms to conduct everything from quick meetings to in-depth webinars. 

On December 31st, 2019, many of us gathered on New Year’s Eve with friends, family and others to celebrate the year and the next one to come. 

As part of our National Deafblind Awareness Month campaign, I had the opportunity to sit down with Sherry Grabowski, Executive Director of CNIB Deafblind Community Services, to chat about our soon-to-be expansion into Saskatchewan.

In my current studies on disability issues, I often come across the concept of “autonomy in care”.
