Today, September 23rd, we celebrate International Day of Sign Languages!

Did you know there are more than 70 million deaf people worldwide, using more than 300 different sign languages?

International Day of Sign Languages is a special opportunity for us to shine a light on the vital importance and diversity of sign languages around the world, and the vibrant communities brought together around them.

Let's all do our part to build up our communities in Simcoe Muskoka to ensure accessible communication, inclusion, equitable care, and meaningful connections are available to everyone.

💙September 22 – 28, 2025 is International Week of Deaf People! 💙

This year's theme, "No Human Rights Without Sign Language Rights" is a reminder to us all that access to language and information is not a privilege, it is a right. We recognize that full access to language is foundational to relationships, education, employment, health care, and all aspects of daily life.

This week we hope you will join us in celebration of Deaf identity, culture, and rights.
