Advocates rally at London, Ont. school for the deaf to call for funding - London | Globalnews.ca

“We are the same as people who are not deaf, we just can’t hear. But if we are provided the same access, the same support, the same thing the rest of the population has then we can grow up to be as successful as they are,” McCalum said.

Enrolment at the schools has been dropping, but Witcher says that it’s not because there are fewer deaf people in Ontario. She thinks it’s because people are not being made aware of their options, noting she met a deaf man who lived in London, Ont., his whole life but only found out there was a school for the deaf when he became an adult.

PSAT District 30 Officer David Sykes says there are at least 42 students on a waitlist to attend Robarts in London but they are not being admitted because the provincial government shut down their resource service department during COVID-19 and has yet to reopen it.The Tuesday rally marks the third of four to take place, one at each school across the province.

Last week, one was held at Sir James Whitney School for the Deaf in Belleville which saw over 130 people. The week before one was held at the Ernest C. Drury School for the Deaf in Milton. The next rally is set to take place in Brantford.“The last ones to get services”: Rally at Belleville, Ont. school for the deaf calls for funding© 2022 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.
