[NAGDU] proposed Canadian guidelines

[Daryl Marie]

Tracy,The proposed standards are not available online at this time (at least not without enabling the breaking of copyright law by copying and pasting them, as has been done by one blogger)... but here are a few blog posts and news articles with commentary on the proposed standards.http://www.vomitcomet.org/2017/07/09/my-thoughts-on-the-draft-canadian-service-dog-team-standards/http://www.vomitcomet.org/2017/07/09/my-thoughts-on-the-draft-canadian-service-dog-team-standards/http://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/guide-dog-users-providers-say-proposed-rules-disregard-needs-of-visually-impairedhttp://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/guide-dog-users-providers-say-proposed-rules-disregard-needs-of-visually-impairedhttps://blindbeader.wordpress.com/2017/07/04/raising-my-voice/https://blindbeader.wordpress.com/2017/07/04/raising-my-voice/The Canadian National Institute of the Blind, as well as several provinces' Human Rights Commissions have weighed in on these standards as well.I hope this helps.Daryl

What are these proposed Canadian guidelines I keep hearing about, and who is
pushing them? I haven't yet heard of any guide dog users who want them, but
maybe there are some? The whole thing sounds like another solution in
search of a problem.

They really propose to monitor playtime? How? Demanding my toy receipts?
"But his favorite toy is this thing I made from a bunch of old socks!"

What's it all about?

Tracy
