Hi all, our latest volume of the Blind Canadian is now up on our website

magazine' and then 'The Blind Canadian Volume 4'. Read many interesting

in the lives of blind people.  It is a special edition to honour and
celebrate Louis Braille's 200th anniversary of his birth this year.  Below
is the table of contents, just to whet your appetite to read further.  Thank
you to the authors of these wonderful, well-written articles and to Dr Abebe
