Its the start of the week again and we want to share some inspirational thoughts to get you ready for the week ahead. Be safe, healthy and happy.

We know Deaf and hard of hearing Canadians have raised concerns about the use of masks when many rely on lip reading. Did you know If the person with hearing loss and their communication partner do not have symptoms of #COVID19 an alternative measure can be used so that masks do not need be worn. The communication partner can wear a clear face shield which covers to below the chin. The same should be done with a person who has hearing loss, if tolerated.
