The Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility exists to serve Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals, their families and the community by delivering innovative programs, products and solutions to achieve full communication accessibility. All Canadians have the right to communicate fully and freely with organizations, businesses, and government service providers in matters of health care, education, employment, the law, and housing. The Wavefront Centre provides a full range of programs and services to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Communities. We strive to offer innovative products, high quality services, and programs that help to provide accessibility equal to that of the hearing public. "Wavefront Centre offered me funding assistance and employment counselling. They were 100 percent focused on serving my interest that only a charity could provide. The staff and specialists took care of my needs like they were my own family." - Inna Pimentel"As I have aged, I have come to rely on the expertise of the Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility. I am very grateful for their professionalism, courteous service, and palpable concern for their clients. I am also aware that the Wavefront Centre provides hearing support, programs and education to many who, unlike some of us, cannot on their own afford to seek and receive the help they require. For that reason, I urge everyone who is able to make a donation to the Wavefront Centre's current campaign. We need this vitally important institution and, with our aging population, will need it even more in the foreseeable future." - Gabore Mate M.D. (Author and Speaker)
