We are excited to introduce our new online community-based accessibility initiative, Welcome to Durham!
Our objective is to create the most accessible and easy-to-use online information resource for Durham Region residents. This site will not only cater to the Deaf, deafened and hard of hearing community, it will serve as a one-stop website for seniors, new immigrants and the general public.
Welcome to Durham! will offer information in plain English and American Sign Language (“ASL”) and will include a community business directory, links to municipal websites, an event calendar, volunteer opportunities, access to other community-based groups and much more.
