To all DeafBC members:

This video was posted on Facebook since yesterday but I wanted to make sure this message gets across to as many members as possible (for these who don’t have Facebook) for fair access to information and opportunity for participation. The message is as following:

Hey Canadians!!
Do you want VRS in Canada?? Are you member of any registered stakeholders?? (If not, it’s still not too late!!) Do you want the best VRS product and service, all done right the first time?? Then do your homework and VOTE for the best candidate out of 12 nominees competing for ASL Director by January 30th!! Make Canadians proud!!
VOTE for QUALITY, PASSION, and PROFESSIONALISM!!

Thank you!

Jodi Birley
