Would you like a holiday in the Southwest?  We can't promise mesas and
cactus, since we're talking about the southwest of Canada, but we can
promise a weekend of Federation fellowship and fun.

After many Federation conventions in Victoria BC, the Canadian Federation of
the Blind is looking forward to hosting this gathering of the blind of
Canada on beautiful Bowen Island, near Vancouver, British Columbia.

Conventions bring us together to celebrate progress, share experiences, and
chart our direction for the coming year. Individually we are capable;
together we combine our efforts and become unstoppable!

Island, British Columbia, Canada at Bowen Island Lodge, 380 Cardena Dr,
Bowen Island, (only a 20 minute BC ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay Vancouver
