Founded in 1940 by three regional associations of the Deaf, the CAD is the national consumer organization of Canada's 300,000 Deaf citizens. The CAD provides consultation and information on Deaf needs and interests to the public, business, media, educators, governments and others. We conduct research and collect data regarding Deaf issues; issue reports on these studies; and provide expertise on them; develop and implement pilot programs. We offer assistance to Deaf organizations and service agencies across the country, and also provide a Major library and resource centre on deafness at our office in Ottawa, Ontario. 1, record 1, English, - Canadian%20Association%20of%20the%20Deaf

L'ASC a été fondée en 1940 par trois associations régionales pour les besoins des Sourds et leurs intérêts au public, aux entreprises, aux médias, aux éducateurs et autres. Nous faisons des recherches et collectons des données sur les questions liées à la surdité; nous produisons des rapports sur ces études et offrons une expertise les concernant et nous créons et exécutons des programmes expérimentaux. Nous offrons une aide aux organismes et agences de services pour Sourds dans tout le pays et nous possédons également une très grande bibliothèque et un centre de ressource sur la surdité dans nos bureaux à Ottawa, en Ontario. 1, record 1, French, - Association%20des%20Sourds%20du%20Canada
