Released on June 3, 2024
The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed June 2024 as Deafblind Awareness Month to raise awareness and recognize the experiences of Saskatchewan residents who are deafblind.
Individuals are considered deafblind if they have a combined loss of both hearing and vision to the point that neither can be used as a primary source of information gathering and communication.
"We are building a stronger, more inclusive and accessible Saskatchewan," Social Services Minister Gene Makowsky said. "This month celebrates the valuable contributions individuals who are deafblind make in our communities and highlights the importance of preventing and removing barriers so everyone in our province can live their lives to their fullest potential."
Deafblind Awareness Month has been proclaimed in partnership with the Canadian Deafblind Association - Saskatchewan Chapter (CDBA-SK). CDBA-SK provides individualized programs that enable individuals with deafblindness to increase their independence while promoting learning and growth on a daily basis.
"We continue to strive for the best in providing person-centered supports for Individuals experiencing deafblindness, and the assistance of the Government of Saskatchewan makes achieving this goal possible," CDBA Saskatchewan Executive Director Chapter Leanne Kerr said. "Our focus is on empowering the Individuals to be active and engaged in their homes, workplaces and communities. We do this with the assistance of Intervenors who have specific skills, knowledge and experiences to provide the best possible opportunity for people with deafblindness to access and process information and develop communication, concepts and skills."
The Accessible Saskatchewan Act came into force on December 3, 2023, to remove and prevent accessibility barriers that persons with disabilities experience so that all people can participate in and contribute to their communities.
On March 1, 2024, the government established the Accessibility Advisory Committee to provide advice to government on proposed accessibility standards, public awareness and education initiatives, and other accessibility-related matters.
