I realize this is off topic, but thought someone might be able to help out our peers in Canada.

Hello friends,



The Canadian Federation of the Blind wants your broken, battered unused
folding white canes.  Don’t landfill these items. Your unwanted cains and
cain parts will be serviced and reused. Any proceeds raised by this program
will go to support the Canadian Federation of the Blind.  Our programs
include legal and legislative advocacy, public awareness and outreach,
mentoring for travel and independent living skills, and distribution of
free straight cains and cell phones.  The CFB is a totally voluntarry
grassroots organization of blind people speaking for ourselves. We believe
that with training and opportunity, blindness can be reduced to an
inconvenience and the blind can compete on equal terms with the sighted.
 For more information, please visit http://www.cfb.ca.


To donate your old cains and cain parts, Send them to us free matter at:

Erik Burggraaf

1377 merrittville highway

Welland ON L3B 5N5

or drop them off at Vision Aids Canada, 795 Eglinton Ave East in Toronto.


We’re going to run our cane drive until October 31st.  If it is a success,
we will keep it going. So, dig through those closets.   May pieces of old
canes can be reconditioned and reused.


Thanks for supporting the Canadian Federation of the Blind.  If you know
some one we can help, or you would like to volunteer, please email
info at cfb.ca or call  (250) 598-7154.


Program availability currently subject to geographical and other restrictions.


Best,


Erik
