Deaf Albertans while endeavoring to improve
the quality of life for Deaf people in general.
Organization Profile:
Principles of Service: We
strive to develop high quality and services
in consultation with national, regional, provincial, and local
consumer groups and individuals. To achieve our objectives,
we attempt to deal with issues at the provincial level in
the following areas:
-
Advocacy: We are committed
to ensuring that the rights and personal or collective dignity
of Deaf Albertans are respected. We advocate for empowerment.
-
Accessibility: We are committed
to supporting Deaf Albertans' rights and efforts to gain
access to resources generally available to any other citizen
of Alberta. Access to employment, education, recreation,
housing, socializing and interpreting is vital. Language
barriers cannot be allowed to stand in the way.
-
Awareness: We are committed
to ensuring that our unique language, culture, lifestyle
and values are recognized and promoted.
