About the Centre
The Bob Rumball Canadian Centre of Excellence for the Deaf (formerly the Bob Rumball Centre for the Deaf) was the first facility of its kind, and for over 30 years it has provided the Deaf Community a space without communication barriers. Within this space an educational, independent living, and a social environment for the Deaf has blossomed.

From its starting point as a community recreation facility, the Bob Rumball Centre has expanded into offering a range of specialized services to those within the Deaf Community that require support. These include seniors’, those with developmental, physical, health, or mental health issues, infants and young children, and newcomers to Canada.

These programs and services are often unique, and offer the access to care, education, and socialization that improves quality of life for Deaf people.

Mission
To provide care and opportunities in a communication-rich environment that enhances the quality of life of those we serve.

Inclusivity
Rumball organizations recognize and embrace our responsibility to ensure we welcome and contribute to a healthy society, which includes equal respect and attention to topics of diversity, anti-racism, discrimination culture and faith. We encourage continuous dialogue, reflection and education to ensure we focus on inclusivity for all people.
