Deafblind Awareness Month is designed to help Canadians develop an understanding of, and a comfort with, the people in their communities who are Deafblind. Each June, people who are Deafblind, service providers, and supporters come together to ‘Make a Wave from Coast to Coast’, with a passion to make a difference and raise awareness.

CNIB Deafblind Community Services (DBCS) is proud to continue supporting Deafblind adults in B.C. thanks to new provincial funding for intervenor services. This vital investment moves us closer to sustainable support for independence, communication, and inclusion for the Deafblind community.
