Oshawa becomes more accessible thanks to federal grant

Posted by news | Filed under All News Stories, Durham

Thanks to a federal grant, the City of Oshawa is more accessible than ever. Oshawa has purchased and installed assistive communication devices at 11 different sites, and Accessibility Policy Advisor Lynda Lawson says this will help to remove barriers for residents. Lawson says the city has purchased UbiDuo units to help people who are deaf, hard of hearing or suffer from a speech impediment, as well as Compact Video Magnifiers to support those with vision problems.
