Who Are We?

Who are we?  Who are the people writing for this DeafCan blog?

We are all Deaf Canadians.  We all work at other jobs. We have families that we love to be with at home.  It is hard for us to find the time to post on this blog because we are so busy.  We will try to post one or two times every week. 

Some of us work for businesses that don’t agree with our opinions. So we use different names, not our real names. We don’t want to lose our jobs because of something we say in DeafCan!

Why is it called “DeafCan”?  There are two reasons.

Reason 1: “DeafCan” really means “Deaf Canada” or “Deaf Canadians”.  That is who we are!

Reason 2: “DeafCan” is a short way of saying, “DEAF people CAN do anything hearing people can do, except hear!”  That means we can live and work and play just the same way that hearing people can.  A lot of hearing people don’t realize what Deaf people can do. 

Well, now you are ready to enjoy DeafCan!  Please let us know what you like about this blog!
