In the month following 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 continue with Part II, with us two, continuing on as the MC’s). From the weekend of convention, finishing off on May 1 where we led a diverse session day, full of insightful speakers (Natalina Martiniello from Braille Literacy Canada, Ben Fulton on housing discrimination, Doris Belusic and Kerry on The Blind Canadian, etc). In this episode of Outlook we share people’s big plans and ideas looking to the future for a better Canada for its blind citizens.

Listen to Part II with another door prize draw with a humorous element (awkward), some truly touching moments of our co-host/sibling relationship demonstrated from over the weekend, and a banquet lineup of speakers (CFB President Mary Ellen Gabias, NFB Rep Scott LaBarre), all highlighting, through shared experiences, the themes of making choices and the setting of/carrying out of goals.

From the awkward moments, to the touching ones, to the truly profound - all this was at the heart of the entire 2021 Canadian Federation of the Blind convention.
