Deaf-Blind
Awareness Month Act, 2000 |
Bill
125 2000
An
Act to proclaim the month of June as Deaf-Blind Awareness Month
Deaf-blindness
is a unique disability that
incorporates the sensory loss of both sight and hearing. Persons
with this disability experience extreme isolation and the inability
to access the services and information which most of us take
for granted.
June is the birth month of Helen Keller, a deaf-blind
person known around the world for her perseverance and achievements,
and an inspiration to the deaf-blind community.
Therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the advice
and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario,
enacts as follows:
| Deaf-blind
awareness month |
| 1. |
The
month of June each year is proclaimed Deaf-Blind
Awareness Month. |
| Commencement |
| 2. |
This
Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal
Assent. |
| Short
title |
| 3. |
The
short title of this Act is the Deaf-Blind Awareness
Month Act,
2000. |
