: A look back at our roots

As part of our year-long celebration of Wavefront Centre’s 70th anniversary, we’re sharing the people and moments that helped shape communication accessibility.

In the late 1960s, leaders like Executive Director Emmett Casey helped shape the future of communication accessibility, advancing early awareness of hearing health and access.

Seventy years later, that work continues as we remain committed to breaking down communication barriers for people who are Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing.

That’s why protecting your hearing during the day is so important. Long-term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent damage.

Tip: If you need to raise your voice to be heard, it’s probably too loud. Contact our Audiology team for your custom ear plugs.

: Behind the scenes of connection

As part of our year-long celebration of Wavefront Centre’s 70th anniversary, we’re sharing moments that highlight the people and places that kept communication flowing.

This photo shows the Message Relay Centre office at our West 7th location, where staff worked behind the scenes to support communication access every day.

Fun fact: this space was also known for having the only air conditioning in the building—making it a popular spot for staff to cool down!

From busy offices like this, essential services helped bridge communication gaps and connect communities.

Do you remember spaces like this, or have stories from working behind the scenes? We’d love to learn more about it. Please like, comment, and share.
