The BC-VRS Committee wishes to thank the many BC Deaf Community members for the feedback, opinions, shared experiences and questions provided to our committee. We understand that there is a need to clarify information that is out there about the role of the BC-VRS Committee and the Telus VRS trial. We invite the community to attend the meeting on July 7th to receive clarification regarding our role and the Telus VRS trial.

5. Enhance the opportunities for individuals in the BC Deaf community to express their views directly with service providers.
