Deafblind Awareness Month
Since 2000, June has been proclaimed Deafblind Awareness Month in the province of Ontario as June is the birth month of Helen Keller, the most famous deafblind person and an inspiration to all in the deafblind community. The focus of our activities during this month is to raise awareness about deafblindness and increase our organization’s profile in our communities.
Deafblind Awareness Month will be celebrated by DeafBlind Ontario Services throughout the month of June with several community events, fundraisers, and JuneFest – a family and awareness festival celebrating the accomplishments of people who are deafblind at Mel Lastman Square in Toronto.
