Whole Humanity Workshop at OOC
Whole Humanity:
Understanding Power Systems & Practicing Solidarity
with Anna Soole – Wed, July 13
You’re well intentioned, and you know that racism exists, so you can’t possibly perpetuate it… right? Let’s explore some of the ways white privilege plays out despite anti-racist knowledge and good intentions.
**This workshop is for white & non-POC folks who are interested in deepening their practice of solidarity and allyship. Are you Black/Indigenous/mixed/person of color who is also LGBATQ+? We are hosting a dance workshop with ILL NANA for you! Find out more here. **

CAV-VRS: June 2016 Update
Hello!
In April, we announced the name of the new VRS service, “SRV Canada VRS”, and today, we are announcing a new website www.srvcanadavrs.ca.
Go to the website to learn about the technical requirements and equipment that you will need to use VRS when it becomes available in September.
Also, there are two important features on the new website I’d like to emphasize.
The first is a brief Survey with questions you can respond to help CAV understand how our community will be using the service. For example, choice of language (ASL/LSQ) or which province you live in or what type of equipment you plan to use (pc, tablet or smartphone).
Secondly, in a short video message (ASL or LSQ) tell us how you think VRS will impact your life. Selected videos will be edited and will be included in a short film which will premiere at CAV’s launch event and will also be featured on the www.srvcanadavrs.ca website.
In addition, we’ve begun building new call centres and training Video Interpreters and Customer Service Representatives.
I hope you can feel the excitement. VRS is coming alive! Tell your friends – “SRV Canada VRS – it’s coming!!!”
Thank you,
Sue Decker
Executive Director, CAV-ACS

Presentation/seminar on American Sign Language (ASL), its grammar and history. In this seminar, discussion about misguidance and oppression of Deaf Culture will take place as it is critical to question domination of power, identity subordination and inequality of the human rights that Deaf people experience on daily basis. By criticizing and conversing on violence that Deaf citizens face, we hope to define Deaf identity and strengthen their voice.
