In the weeks since our 2021 first ever all virtual Choices and Goals Canadian Federation of the Blind Convention, we’ve been hard at work to bring together the highlights of this year’s event.

This week on Outlook, we begin with Part 1, with us two as the mc’s from the weekend of April 30th, welcoming a diverse two days of sponsoring companies and insightful speakers.

Door prizes (read with the help of an OrCam), accessible tech presentations (Canadian Assistive Technology, HumanWare), and the adrenaline filled few days of panels on intersectionality and parenting..

Listen to Part 1 with the exhibit hall presenters, funny mishaps of an all virtual Zoom convention, all with the theme choices and goals and the diversity we are talking more about across Outlook episodes. We also feature clips from speakers and organizations who have appeared on Outlook in the past (NNELS, Talk Description to Me, CNIB monopoly report).

And we’ll be back, next week, with Part 2 of an extraordinary weekend including news of what the Canadian Federation of the Blind (CFB) and its flag ship magazine (The Blind Canadian) have been up to, about the value of braille literacy with Braille Literacy Canada (BLC-LBC), and a lawyer’s story of housing discrimination towards him as a lawyer with a disability. Not to mention our fabulous banquet to round out the festivities. Stay tuned.
