This engagement is meant to understand the values and specific needs of the Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing and Deaf-Blind communities and help us develop a client-centred approach to service delivery for provincial medical Sign language interpreting services.
Please join us for engagement sessions either in:
1. Kelowna: 2 pm, February 3, 2018,
Pathways Seniors Centre, 150-D Gray Road, Kelowna,
or
2. Greater Vancouver: 6:30 pm, February 16, 2018,
The Provincial Language Service, 1795 Willingdon Avenue, Burnaby.
