Hard Of Hearing And Deafened Requests Access To City Facilities
Posted Nov 29th
Ottawa – The National Capital Region Branch of the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association is requesting mayoral candidates take a stand on providing access to the municipalities 600 public facilities. Only one of the facilities is presently accessible to hard of hearing citizens though the use of an FM system. This means that every time a public facility is used for public and community meetings, hearing aid users are left to fend for themselves as best they can. This is no longer acceptable.
