Metro - Go wild at the zoo with Deaf and Hard of Hearing celebration
ou’re never too old to throw your birthday party at the Calgary Zoo and that’s exactly what the Deaf & Hard of Hearing Society’s (DHHS) is doing this Sunday.
They are celebrating 50 years with a free event from 1 to 4 p.m.
Even though admission is complimentary, you still need to reserve your tickets by calling the society at 403-284-6200 (TTY: 403/284-6201).
This family-friendly event includes lots of activities but there’s also an important awareness campaign component.
Executive Director Christina Smith says more and more young people are being affected by hearing loss, especially with the use of gadgets that have ear buds.
In fact, the organization reports hearing loss affects nearly 23 per cent of Canadian adults or 600,000 Albertans.
For more information on the event, go to dhhs.ca.
