  1. Thanks Patrick for posting the numbers here. Interesting to see 🙂 I’d like to add a thanks to Marjorie Cameron who also made a difference, helping with the tech equipment toward the end of the BC Deaf Fest week, I know Scott and I appreciated the extra hand. I enjoyed working with the whole team to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves and to provide access for all to the events. I hope we can do another event like this again.. nice to see so many people together at once, which seems a rare thing these days. Thanks Patrick for the opportunity – much appreciated AND ~ waving hands~ to everyone on the Team! Smiles.

  2. I enjoyed the deaf fest week! I wish we can have more of it! It would be nice to include something for family with younger deaf or h/h children next time. A special event or children’s movie? maybe that is something we can do in near future.
    One thing I would like a copy of these movies..(all of them) to buy so we can have them in our library at the center to share with families. Where can I get them?
