THE HEARING FOUNDATION OF CANADA LA FONDATION CANADIENNE DE L'OUIE

The Hearing Foundation of Canada operates across Toronto and beyond to advance deaf and hard of hearing access to arts and culture. The organization creates opportunities for Deaf and hard of hearing individuals to participate fully in theatrical productions, musical performances, visual art exhibitions, and cultural events through interpreted performances, captioning, accessible seating, and specialized programming. By working with venues, artists, and cultural institutions, the foundation removes barriers that have historically excluded Deaf and hard of hearing people from experiencing live performance and creative expression. The organization also supports Deaf artists and cultural workers, recognizing their distinct artistic traditions and contributions to Canadian culture while advocating for systemic accessibility improvements across the cultural sector.
