Civic and Social Organizations
201-500

The Bob Rumball Canadian Centre of Excellence for the Deaf was the first facility of its kind, and for over 30 years it has provided the Deaf Community a space without communication barriers. Within this space an educational, independent living, and a social environment for the Deaf has blossomed.

From its starting point as a community recreation facility, the Bob Rumball Centre has expanded into offering a range of specialized services to those within the Deaf Community that require support. These include seniors’, those with developmental, physical, health, or mental health issues, infants and young children, and newcomers to Canada.

These programs and services are often unique, and offer the access to care, education, and socialization that improves quality of life for Deaf people.
