Hello, and welcome
to the June edition of CHS Connections.
The Canadian Hearing Society
serves more than 36,000 people every year –
from students, to entire families, to seniors.
In this edition of CHS Connections,
through our stories and news items,
we celebrate the depth and breadth of our services
and the impact they have
on the lives of the people that we serve.
First, I want to share news about two exciting opportunities:
a newly launched National Scholarship Program
and our student internship program
at CHS offices across the province.
The scholarship program is offering nine scholarships
to Deaf and hard of hearing college and university students
for September 2017.
This is the first of its kind
in the Canadian Hearing Society's 77-year history.
At CHS, we believe education has the power to transform lives
today and for generations to come.
With this new scholarship program,
we are offering students –
both young students and adults
who want to further their skills and education –
the financial support
to help them achieve their academic goals,
leading to fulfilling careers.
In addition to offering
a record-setting number of scholarships,
the Canadian Hearing Society is also offering
a record number of summer jobs
for post-secondary students this year.
Up to 32 summer jobs are being offered
at CHS offices across Ontario this summer
through an internship program
funded by the Canadian Summer Jobs program
at the Canadian Hearing Society.
CHS is proud to offer Deaf and hard of hearing students
valuable, hands-on work experience
in a barrier-free environment.
These students will learn new skills
in a variety of fields,
while earning money to put towards school
when they return to class in September.
CHS recognizes that supporting Deaf and hard of hearing youth
as they move into the workplace
is vitally important
to ensure their future career successes.
Students can view and apply for job postings
by clicking on "Jobs at CHS"
on our homepage, at chs.ca.
Building on this focus to empower people
by supporting their education and skills development,
we also want to help more people achieve their employment goals.
To ensure we're able to serve the largest number of clients
in ways that make the most sense for their individual needs,
we've enhanced our service options
by offering vital Employment Services via Skype.
Thousands of people use the text and video chat service
to stay in touch with friends and family members each day.
By using Skype for resume support
and general employment counselling and consultation,
we can continue to expand our reach
and help even more clients find employment success.
Using technology like Skype
is just part of CHS's commitment to innovate
when it comes to how we deliver our services.
Many seniors rely on the Canadian Hearing Society,
and in June, we celebrate Seniors' Month in Canada.
In this issue of CHS Connections,
you will also find a great deal
of valuable information related to seniors,
including a blog about the importance
of early detection of hearing loss,
an inspiring story
of one of our senior Hearing Care Counselling clients,
and a terrific promotion
for three of our communication devices.
In addition to being Seniors Month,
June is also Deafblind Awareness Month.
To recognize the uniqueness
and importance of CHS's deafblind services,
we interviewed one of our deafblind intervenors
to take us through a day on the job as an intervenor:
how the process works, and how vital their job is
to ensuring people with both vision and hearing loss
can interact successfully
with other people and their environment.
Finally, I want to remind you
that our 2nd Annual President's Golf Tournament
is just around the corner.
This year, we are delighted
to host our tournament at a new venue:
the magnificent Lebovic Golf Club
in Aurora, Ontario.
We invite all of you to join us on September 11th
for lunch, a wonderful round of golf,
dinner, awards, prizes, and so much more.
And if you sign up before
our early bird deadline on June 21st,
you'll be eligible to win a golf getaway for four.
You'll also be supporting
the National Scholarship Program I mentioned earlier,
as proceeds from this event
will go directly to support their future education.
Visit our website for more information
and to register.
I hope to see you all there.
Thank you, and good bye for now.
