"... we got to witness a review of Canadian Council of the Blind achievements since its inception (1944). It was fascinating to see all the stakeholders in the room with one purpose: Empowering Canadians who are blind or partially sighted for a better life via a more inclusive society. Poor visual acuity does not stop one from having an impactful vision. CCB’s 80th anniversary is a testament to that."
