Deaf Community 9-1-1 Experience 

Hello Deaf Community members/Members,

The Deaf Wireless Canada Committee (DWCC) and the Canadian Association of the Deaf (CAD-ASC) are back with a new survey (to find out if others are having the same issues as our Committee members) and we need your participation.

This is an urgent request as the survey is only open for a limited time. The deadline isDecember 28, 2016.

The reason for this is the Deaf Wireless Canada Consultative Committee(DWCC), and theCanadian Association of the Deaf (CAD-ASC), along with Canadian National Society of the Deaf-Blind (CNSDB) will be facing the CRTC again in January 2017. More information about this proceeding and the Agenda is available at the bottom of this e-mail.

Come join and participate in the survey for Text with 911! We value our Deaf community people’s lives and safety; the survey is important for us to show that perhaps change needs to be made.

Please help and share the survey to your friends and family too! FORWARD and SHARE this e-mail!
