Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility

Hearing healthcare and communication solutions for people who are Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing.

The Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility is passionate about creating a society in which Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing and Hearing individuals can interact freely without barriers. For those with hearing loss and deafness, communication becomes challenging, affecting any sphere of daily life, from work to home to school and community. Wavefront Centre provides supportive programs and services that focus on the strengths and talents of Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing individuals rather than barriers. Wavefront Centre works to create opportunities for individuals to gain employment, participate in communities, and increase social connectedness with family and friends. We also provide public education to increase awareness and understanding of topics related to Deaf, Deafblind and Hard of Hearing.

This September, we join communities worldwide in celebrating Deaf Awareness Month, a time to honour the richness of Deaf culture, language, and community.

The 2025 theme, “No Human Rights Without Sign Language Rights,” reminds us that communication accessibility is a fundamental right.

At Wavefront Centre, we’re committed to breaking barriers and building inclusion for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing individuals every day.

Important Read: Employment & Accessibility in Canada

“Far too many people in Canada are highly qualified and eager to work, but they can’t. They are prevented from getting the chance to do so because they live with disabilities. The systems we live with are hesitant to adapt.”

Chief Accessibility Officer Stephanie Cadieux has released her latest report under the Accessible Canada Act, highlighting persistent barriers faced by people with disabilities when it comes to employment.

At Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility , we echo the call for more action—and faster. Together, we must break down these barriers and create inclusive pathways to employment for all.
