Black History Month

Highlighting black practioners

For Black History Month 2024, we teamed up with The Onyx Clinic, a black-owned S-LP clinic, to host a video series. In this series, we highlighted the pivotal role Black S-LPs and audiologists play in ensuring all Canadians have equitable access to communication health services.
