Really excited to announce that the BC Provincial Government has declared June 2021 as Deafblind Awareness Month! #juneisdeafblindawarenessmonth #deafblind #deafblindawareness
A person who is deafblind can navigate their environment and be independent with the support of a professional intervenor. Intervenors act as the eyes and ears of a person who is deafblind.
To kick start activities during Deafblind Awareness Month, numerous landmarks across the country are turning blue today to show their support, including the CN Tower and the Calgary Tower.![]()

If you come across a blue landmark we ask that you take a photo and reply to this post with your picture so that we can capture as many as possible!

Yarn bombing is a form of street art where yarn that is knit, crochet, or wrapped, adorns an object in a public space. By coming together to yarn bomb objects in as many cities and countries as possible in June, we strive to foster connections and unite a community with individuals, service and advocacy groups in the field, DbI members and partners, and the wider global public.
