My name is David McGregor, I volunteer for the BC Rockies Deaf and Hard of Hearing Ice Hockey team.  We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a development camp for hockey players of all ages, gender and skill level.  This will be provided to all hearing levels as we welcome a fully inclusive environment for our players.  This is a safe place to learn to play or push your game to the next level.
Additionally, to get you an idea of our success we’ve had this year: we sent two teams to Winnipeg to compete at the Canada Deaf Games.  Both teams had a mix of deaf and hard of hearing players.  Our teams came second and third!  We look forward to building off this success and pursue our goal for gold.  At the same time, we enjoy the social environment with all of our deaf and hard of hearing players.
Here’s a short video highlighting two of our leaders who would be involved in the camp:
Please do not hesitate to contact me or Shawn Mayzes for more information.

Thank you!

Anyone who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing is welcome. We accept teams of 3 or more bowlers and need at least 15 bowlers to run the league.
We will play 6 games total, on Saturdays each month. In October we will play twice: October 13 and 20. Then we will play once monthly on the following dates: November 3, December 1, January 5 and February 2. We only bowl for 5 months, or 24 weeks. This is shorter than most leagues in Metro Van- couver. The team will have more than one chance to make it into the final playoffs in February. Feb- ruary playoff dates will be announced later. The cost is $22.00 for 6 games, which includes prizes every month, and it will be collected before each game starts.
Join us for a short meeting on Saturday, October 13th, 2018 at 9:00 AM before our first set of games at Revs Bowling Centre (next to Holdom Skytrain Station).
Please be sure to call and reserve your spot now – even if you cannot attend the October 13th ses- sion. If you will not be able to come, you have to roll off beforehand on your own time and pay for it even if you miss the games.
League play begins Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Deaf people with a disability are welcome to play. They will play 3 games instead of 6. The dates are the same as above. The cost will be $11.00 for 3 games including prizes per month. Please note: you are required to have someone with you at all times.
We will have many exciting events!
• Provincial 10 Pin Deaf Bowling Playdown
• National Deaf Championships
• Travelling to USA for North West Bowling Association of the Deaf (NWBAD) tournament in March. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact:

The Truth About Everyday Plastics | Ocean Matters Lecture

Deaf BC
-
0

Tuesday, 26-Jun-2018 @ 7pm (doors 6.30pm)

What happens to your fleece jacket in the laundry and that plastic bottle when it is empty?

Stephen Chastain, an Ocean Wise scientist, will look at four everyday household items. He will examine why and how our use and disposal of these items is damaging the environment and how this relates to large-scale global issues.

He will discuss how he explores the world of microplastics under the microscope and the research that Ocean Wise is doing to learn about the processes that are causing these problems. This research is helping us all to do something, whether it is small changes in our daily routine or ways in which we redesign our approach to plastics as a society.

Stephen is a graduate of the school of Resource and Environmental Management in SFU. He began working as a co-op lab technician with Ocean Wise’s Ocean Pollution Research Program in January 2017 and continues to work there since his graduation. He works primarily on analytical techniques for studying microplastics in ocean water and microscopy techniques for identifying plastic particles that can be as small as human blood cells. He has also studied prehistoric archaeology and coastal wetlands management.

Price: Free, but register here to guarantee your seat
Accessibility: This event will be ASL signed and is wheel-chair accessible
Location: The Vancouver Aquarium
Livestreaming?: Yes!! On the Vancouver Aquarium YouTube Channel
