October 22 at 7:30 PM — The NEST

The creation of art inevitably encroaches on life—whether through family schisms, professional divides, or controversy.

October 25 at 7:30 PM — Granville Island Stage

The Knowing is another essential read from Tanya Talaga: the unfolding of Canadian history unlike anything we have read before. It is the history of the country through an Indigenous lens, and Church-sanctioned disenfranchisement and genocide. Talaga speaks with Candis Callison.

https://writersfest.bc.ca/festival-event-2024/69

Media Release for IDSL/IWD

International Day of Sign Languages and Official Deaf Flag Recognized in British Columbia

(Surrey, British Columbia) — The British Columbia Association of the Deaf (BCAD), Greater
Vancouver Association of the Deaf (GVAD), South Vancouver Island Association of the Deaf
(SVIAD), and Mid-Island Deaf Association (MIDA) proudly announce a historic Deaf Flag raising ceremony at the Provincial Legislature in Victoria, B.C. on Monday, September 23, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. This event marks the first time the Deaf Flag will be raised in the Provincial Capital.

Additionally, on the same day at 11:00 a.m., the Deaf Flag will be raised at City Hall, 511 Royal Ave, New Westminster, B.C., with local Deaf representatives attending.

According to the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), over 70 million Deaf people worldwide use more than 300 sign languages. In British Columbia, with a population of 5.6 million, approximately 5,600 people are Deaf.

International Day of Sign Languages

On December 19, 2017, the United Nations designated September 23 as the International Day of Sign Languages to promote the preservation of sign languages and Deaf culture globally. This day coincides with the founding of the WFD in 1951 and is part of the International Week of Deaf People, which raises awareness of the human rights and cultural significance of sign languages.

The Deaf Flag
Approved at the WFD’s 20th General Assembly in July 2023, the Deaf Flag symbolizes Deaf unity and strength. The flag’s three colours hold special meanings:
? Turquoise Blue: Sign language, pride, and unity.
? Yellow: Enlightened spirit and life.
? Dark Blue: Humanity and the Deaf community’s global connection.

These colours represent the diversity and inclusion of Deaf people as part of the rich fabric of humanity.

Shine a Blue Light on Sign Languages

On the International Day of Sign Languages, Deaf communities worldwide will celebrate by
lighting key buildings and landmarks in blue—a symbol of unity.

The World Federation of the Deaf encourages communities, governments, and organizations to shine blue lights on landmarks, showing collective support for Deaf communities and national sign languages. In British Columbia, the BC Association of the Deaf and GVAD proudly support this campaign, which will occur at provincial landmarks.

We support this effort to raise awareness about the rights of sign language communities and the ongoing human rights issues around accessibility. Deaf and Deaf-Blind organizations in B.C. face several key challenges:

? Funding & Personnel: There is insufficient support to prevent language deprivation among
Deaf children and ensure communication accessibility. Recent cuts in the Surrey School
District affect 50 Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and hard-of-hearing students lacking language
acquisition support.

? Intervenor Services: Provincial funding for Deaf-Blind adults’ intervenor services is at risk, threatening their communication and quality of life.

? Language Monitoring: Sign language milestones, crucial for deaf children’s
neurodevelopment, are not tracked. Additionally, funding cuts to services like the Deaf
Children’s Society of British Columbia worsen a lack of trained specialists and role models.

The following Lower Mainland landmarks will be lit in blue on the evening of Monday, September 23, 2024, with Deaf organization representatives and community members gathering to view them:

? Surrey Civic Plaza, located at 13450 104 Ave, Surrey, B.C. (8:30 p.m.)
? New Westminster City Hall, 511 Royal Avenue, New Westminster, B.C. (9:00 p.m.)
? BC Place & Science World, 1455 Quebec Street, Vancouver, B.C. (9:40 p.m.)
? The Sails at Canada Place, 999 Canada Place, Vancouver, B.C. (10:15 p.m.)

The Greater Vancouver Association of the Deaf has created a flyer with all the landmarks that will be shone in Blue on Monday evening. Members of the Board of Directors and the Deaf community will stop at the above locations at certain times to create photo opportunities.

The Province of British Columbia has proclaimed and declared that September 23 to 29, 2024, shall be known as “International Week of Deaf People” and September 23, 2024, shall be known as “International Day of Sign Languages” in the Province of British Columbia, as seen in this link.

Please reference the Canadian Association of the Deaf-Association des Sourds du Canada
(CAD-ASC) press release for a complete list of locations nationwide participating in these events.

“Shine the Blue Light Car Rally

 

 

 

The Greater Vancouver Association of the Deaf (GVAD) and the BC Association of the Deaf (BCAD), with its committee and volunteer members are pleased to announce we are participating in the Shine the Blue Light movement initiated by the World Federation of the Deaf.

Monday, September 23rd is International Day of Sign Languages, as declared by the UN in 2017. It is widely promoted by the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) ( https://wfdeaf.org/who-we-are/our-story/ )
This initiative is to raise awareness about Sign Languages and is a global movement of deaf unity and concerted advocacy to raise awareness of the issues deaf people face in their everyday lives.

The UN resolution in 2017 establishing the day “acknowledges that early access to sign language and services in sign language, including quality education available in sign language, is vital to the growth and development of the deaf individual and critical to the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals. It recognizes the importance of preserving sign languages as part of linguistic and cultural diversity. It also emphasizes the principle of “nothing about us without us” in terms of working with Deaf communities.”
Our organizations have contacted several cities in the Greater Vancouver area such as New Westminster, Surrey and Vancouver and the Province, and we were successful in getting City of Surrey and City of New Westminster to take action. Also various landmarks in the downtown Vancouver area have approved to participate in the Shine the Blue Lights for Sign Languages on Monday September 23, 2024.

Since so many of the landmarks in the Greater Vancouver area are lighting up, the GVAD thought it would be neat to set up a Car Rally where people meet up first in Surrey, and carpool to go to all the sites where the colours blue would be shining, and the local people can meet at the area close to them as well and create group photos and opportunities to marvel at the lights and celebrate!

Date: Monday September 23, 2024
8:30pm. Surrey Civic Plaza, 13450 104 Ave, Surrey, BC V3T 1V8
9:00pm. City Hall, City of New Westminster, 511 Royal Ave, New Westminster, BC V3L 1H9
9:40pm. Meet at Science World, 1455 Quebec Street, Vancouver, BC V6A 327
to see BOTH Science World and BC Place from the same spot at a corner of False Creek.
10:15pm. Canada Place, 999 Canada Pl, Vancouver, BC V6C 3E1

If you don’t have a car, simply choose one place to use public transit and meet us there!
Please be patient if the people have not yet arrived at the locations, everyone will arrive close enough around that time. When there’s a large enough group, we will do photos, etc.
Group photos will be taken at each location and social media posts will be encouraged tagging the World Federation of the Deaf @wfdeaf and using the hashtags #IDSL #BlueLight

Closed captioning assists persons who are Deaf or hard of hearing, while described video and audio descriptions assist persons who are blind or partially sighted. The CRTC is seeking feedback on how broadcasters and online streaming services can better meet the needs of Canadians who use these services to enjoy their favourite programming.
 
The CRTC is now accepting comments and interested parties can participate by:
 
2. Writing to the Secretary General, CRTC, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N2; or
sending a fax to 819-994-0218.
 
Canadians can also submit their comments in American Sign Language or Langue des signes québécoise by filing a link to their sign-language videos using the online form. Canadians who wish to request accommodations to facilitate their participation or require assistance submitting their comments can contact the CRTC’s Public Hearings group at hearing@crtc.gc.ca.
 
All comments and sign-language video transcripts will form part of the public record and will inform the CRTC’s decision.
