December 3 is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

This year’s theme, “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress,” calls attention to the barriers many people with disabilities still face, from unequal access to employment to gaps in social supports.

At Wavefront Centre, we work every day to reduce communication barriers and support full participation in community life.

Inclusion isn’t an aspiration, it’s the foundation for a more equitable society.

Today is GivingTuesday.

Your support helps make connection possible for Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing individuals who still face daily communication barriers.

Without accessible services, conversations are missed, resources become harder to reach, and community participation slips away.

This year’s Accessibility for All campaign supports outreach, accessibility consulting, community research and client-centred hearing healthcare, work that ensures people aren’t left behind in the moments that matter most.

Every gift today helps remove barriers and create belonging.

Lest We Forget

Today, we pause to honour and remember the bravery, sacrifice, and service of all who have served — and those who continue to serve — in the pursuit of peace and freedom.

Their courage reminds us of the importance of accessibility, inclusion, and connection — values we carry forward every day at Wavefront Centre.

In observance of Remembrance Day, our offices will be closed on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, and will reopen on Wednesday, November 12, 2025.

We encourage everyone to take a moment of silence at 11 a.m. to reflect and remember.

Our Story

Wavefront Centre is unique because we are the only organization in B.C. that houses resources to assist with every aspect of a person’s life under one roof. These resources include audiology services, interpreting services, employment counselling services, job finding clubs, a job resource centre, a seniors outreach program, a communication devices showroom, informative classes, and community presentations. Wavefront Centre proudly believes in serving the community as a non-profit organization. This means that any money we earn from our social enterprises, such as our hearing aid clinic, goes back into the community to provide free programs. With nearly six decades of experience, Wavefront Centre serves almost 12,000 Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals every year. We have enjoyed a proven track record of success and thousands of clients who have benefited from our services. No other agency meets the needs of Deaf and Hard of Hearing British Columbians like we do.
