Welcome to our ASL resource guide! We have compiled a list of resources to help you become acquainted to the language and culture of the Deaf community. Approximately 357,000 Canadians identify as being part of the Deaf community (capital-D “Deaf”), a distinct cultural and linguistic minority that uses sign language to communicate and for whom deafness is an alternative state, not a disability requiring correction.
