Our regrets for this unexpected change of plans.

The next CHHA Vancouver branch meeting is January 19, 2012. See http://chhavancouver.wordpress.com/branch-meetings/ for more details.

Our speaker is Bill Oakes, from the Rick Hansen Institute, doing a presentation about the “Global Accessibility Map”.    Hearing access in public places, whether restaurants, shops, theatres  or arenas, matters to all of us.  Find out how you can be involved in mapping accessible places online, and accessing this tool as a resource.‎

It’s Membership renewal time.  For new or renewal of memberships: please bring $35 to the September meeting.

Time : 7-9 pm, Multipurpose Room, Childrens Hearing and Speech Centre of B.C. 3575 Kaslo Street, Vancouver, BC.
Guest Speaker: Dr. Lorienne Jenstad.

Lorienne will be speaking about “Why are some people reluctant to get hearing aids, and what are the consequences when they don’t?“

Lorienne says this is a different talk from what she presented at the CHHA-North Shore Branch last fall, as they have collected a great deal of new data since that time. She expects to have a student audiologist or two along, to be involved in the presentation, as well.

We look forward to seeing you there. And remember, if you need a ride, please email chhavancouver@hotmail.com to let us know.

We will also be providing some up to date information about the WALK 2 HEAR Walkathon, planned for Sept.24th in Vancouver.
