Centrally located in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant district (new address is 2005 Quebec Street), our new 18,000 sq. ft., Wavefront Centre will be a model of innovation and inclusion – we’ve gone the extra mile to ensure a seamless transition for our existing clients, while increasing capacity for new ones. Our new four-story facility will be suitably equipped to ensure Deaf, Deafblind, and Hard of Hearing individuals have an accessible space to connect, build community and access our vital services.
We are at a moment of change for the Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
Over the years, WIDHH has grown to become a trusted name in our Deaf and Hard of Hearing community circles, but it is now time to create a name that would be more inclusive and representative of what we do as a charity for our community. Since the Fall of 2018, WIDHH has been undergoing a consultative rebranding process. Our long and detailed journey has paid off in the birth of our new name and identity, launched on July 23, 2019.
