CHHA currently has 23 branches, six provincial chapters and one national network. It has a national office in Ottawa overseen by a national board. All levels work together to achieve common objectives.

By removing the barriers to communication and making accessibility a priority, those in the hard of hearing community could be employed more effectively in many of these roles. Join us this Giving Tuesday and support CHHA in advocating for the simple accommodations that can be made in most workplaces to be more inclusive and accessible.

Advocacy is at the heart of what we do at the national office. We have made great strides on many levels; in government, in captioning, and in the community with the importance of clear masks during COVID. Sheila Serup, CHHA Calgary President, recently wrote an article called, Forty Years of Advocacy for Canadians who are Hard of Hearing http://ow.ly/zziW50LKab6, talking about some of the fantastic progress we have made.

But we are not done. Currently, our focus is on the employment sector to break down barriers and help employers make the necessary accommodations in their workspaces. For this year’s CanadaHelps campaign, we are asking for donations to bring tangible resources and strategies to youth to help them search for meaningful work. Join us today, and please consider a donation to support our youth! Donate today! http://ow.ly/yyXo50LKab7

Often, employers believe hiring someone with a hearing disability will be onerous or even a burden. That couldn’t be further from the truth. People with hearing loss often bring more to the table on many levels at a workplace through their lived experience and ability to adapt and manage difficult situations. Many in the HoH community are adept at problem-solving and finding innovative solutions because they've been doing it all their lives in everyday situations.

"Why I wasn’t born with (hearing loss), I have no idea, but it became apparent when I was in college. It was a difficult time. You’re angry, you’re depressed, you’re frustrated, and you begin to withdraw into yourself. Despite all that, I persevered.”

After experiencing hearing loss while attending college, Marilyn Kingdon was driven to support others experiencing the same. We applaud her amazing efforts with the Canadian Hard of Hearing Association-CHHA National.

Her efforts have earned her the 2022 Volunteer Service Award. https://athau.ca/3VGsgZ7
November's was a massive success!

More than 150 leaders within the region came out to Edmonton's biggest, most dynamic, morning networking event hosted by Jerry Forbes Centre for Community Spirit.

Each month, we feature a non-profit organization doing good work in the region. This month, we highlighted the good work of 630 CHED Santas Anonymous, Christmas Bureau of Edmonton, Canadian Hard of Hearing Association-CHHA National. Thank you for all that you do. An additional thank you to Chamber members Nespresso and Bakenary for providing the essentials!
