durhamregion.com | Durham Deaf fundraiser in Oshawa Sunday
Durham Deaf Services is holding its first-ever fundraising event this Sunday.
The event on May 2 runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is being held at the Civic Dome, on Thornton Road south of Hwy. 2, in Oshawa.
One of the features is the opportunity to undergo 'sensitivity training', to learn what it's like to be hearing impaired. Participants will do a number of activities that will illustrate the communication challenges and barriers faced every day by deaf individuals, as well as learning to communicate by using American Sign Language.
The sensitivity training is open to everyone, offering a fun and interactive approach to deaf awareness and culture.
Other activities include a five-kilometre walk/run, a children's obstacle course, silent auction, face painting, booth displays, colouring stations and a kids' play area.
The DDS notes one in four Canadians report having some degree of hearing loss. The service provides communication, integration, ASL teaching and education programs for deaf children, adults and senior citizens.
