The Canadian Council of the Blind is the Voice of the BlindTM in Canada. The white cane is a symbol of
ability not disability....of independence, not dependence. A lack of sight is not a lack of vision. Change
what it means to be blind. Extend accessibility. Most people don’t know what it is like to be blind. Just
close your eyes. FOREVER. Accessibility promotes ability not disability.

FOURTH ANNUAL WHITE CANE WEEK 2007
Welcome to White Cane Week 2007
T
he celebration of White Cane Week 2007 marks the fourth year The
Council assumes sole responsibility for this event.We are committed
to increasing the impact and outreach of this important week of
awareness of the blind and visually impaired.
We will again emphasize the following themes:“The White Cane is a
Symbol of Ability NOT Disability” and “Changing what it means to be
blind”.
During White Cane Week our members and volunteers participate
in many different public events at the chapter division and national
levels. All events are committed to raising the awareness of the White
Cane as a “symbol of ability not disability” and extending public support
for the accessibility that is crucial to the quality of life for those in our
community – the community of the blind and visually impaired.
The National Invitational Curling Bonspiel held in Ottawa last
year is returning under a new name, “The CCB National Curling
Championships. The number of teams has been limited to 10 with the
2006 Champions appearing to defend their title. This exciting event will
again provide a platform to demonstrate the abilities and skills within
our community.
Terry Kelly will be joining in the celebrations once again, this time
by helping CCB open White Cane Week 2007 on the steps of Parliament
Hill. Terry will also be putting on his ever-inspiring performances at a
number of locations in and around the Nation’s capital throughout the
week.
The Council is committed to managing the Week as a public
awareness program and is seeking corporate support to cover its costs.
I look forward to an exciting week this February. I know the CCB
members and volunteers will again do a fantastic job of raising the
awareness of the blind and visually impaired to the public. So let’s get
out there and make a difference, let our abilities shine through and
above all else, have fun!

CONGRATULATIONS
Recreational Programs, Advocacy, Public awareness and
Membership Governance.
It was announced at the Convention that CCB would be
donating a cheque for $1400 to Operation Eyesight Universal
(OEU). CCB would like to take this opportunity to thank all the
chapters and individuals who helped to raise these funds.
As a point of interest, it should be noted that OEU matches
every dollar CCB donates, then in turn the Canadian International
Development Agency (CIDA) matches every dollar OEU
contributes. Therefore, the $1400 donated becomes $5600 in the
end, so CCB really stretches their dollar by donating to OEU.
Although CCB business kept everyone very busy at the
Convention, participants found time to meet new friends and
have a little fun during the sightseeing tour and Canada Trivia
night.
Adaptive technical equipment displays were also set up
in the hotel lobby, and were well received by the Convention
participants.
The official closing banquet featured guest speakers Jim
Sanders, CEO of CNIB, Chris Gray, President of the American
Council of the Blind, as well as the Mayor of Powell River.
Overall, the planning and hosting of the Convention was a
great and positive experience and a base to build from for the
future.
A new Executive was elected at the 2006 Convention, and thus,
congratulations are in order.
Congratulations to Harold Schnellert, who was elected by
acclamation to serve another term as CCB National President.
Congratulations to Norman A. Lyons who was elected by
acclamation as 1st vice-President. Congratulations to Louise
Gillis who won her election for 2nd Vice-President.
SPECIAL THANKS
Thank you to Carl Cartier, past 1st Vice-President, for your hard
work, dedication and support. Thank you to Elizabeth Mayo,
past 2nd Vice President, for your dedication and support to the
Council as well.
Thank you to Past-President John Rempel for doing an
exemplary job as Chairman of the National Convention.
CCB would like to give special thanks and recognition to
Geraldine Braak and her support crew for the hosting of the
Convention. They did an excellent job and worked tirelessly
around the clock to ensure events ran smoothly. Geraldine is very
lucky to have such strong support from the friendly community
of Powell River.
A warm thank you also goes out to the hotel and its staff who
were very accommodating and helpful to all participants. CCB
CCB NOW LARGEST ORGANIZATION
FOR THE BLIND IN CANADA
In January 2007, the federal government approved the new CCB bylaws which were passed at the National Convention last
October. Membership is now automatic for every person in Canada who is legally blind or vision impaired. The CCB truly is
the VOICE OF THE BLIND® and effectively represents over 600,000 blind and visually impaired persons across the country.
The new bylaw allows all blind and visually impaired persons to take advantage of all CCB programs, and for those who
desire a more active role for voting, a nominal annual membership fee is paid to the national office.
“This is quite an achievement”, notes Harold Schnellert who was re-elected president at the convention. However, Mr.
Schnellert cautions “the change gives the CCB the added responsibility to make sure “The Council” meets the needs of all the
blind and visually impaired people – this is an enormous task for the organization.
A tremendous amount of credit must go to Geraldine Braak and her committee as well as to past president John Rempel
who guided the passage of the bylaw at the convention. ”
Not only has the size of the CCB changed, but the new bylaw permits a re-structuring of the divisions and chapters to
accommodate the advances of modern communication in the 21st century. States Mr. Schnellert “There will be a huge and
daunting yet exciting challenge in the months ahead for everyone at the CCB, particularly the present board of directors who
must address the re-structuring and new protocols for governance.”

leads in the treatment
of Age-related Macular
Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major
cause of central vision loss and is the leading cause of
severe blindness in Canada for people over the age of
50. Vision loss associated with AMD has been shown
to significantly decrease quality of life. Everyday tasks
such as driving and walking can be severely affected.
Awareness of the condition and treatment in the initial
stages of the disease are essential for patients to take
the necessary steps to halt progression of AMD.
Vision loss from AMD occurs in two forms: dry
and wet. The dry form is associated with atrophic
cell death of the central retina and central vision is
lost gradually. The wet form is caused by growth of
abnormal blood vessels under the central part of the
retina or macula. These vessels leak fluid and blood
and cause scar tissue that destroys the central retina.
This results in rapid deterioration of sight over a period
of weeks to months. Untreated, the majority of eyes
affected with wet AMD will become functionally blind
within approximately two years.

development and marketing of innovative products
to improve the ocular health of all Canadians. The
Company is focused on pharmaceuticals that assist in
the treatment of age-related macular degeneration, eye
inflammation, dry eye and ocular allergies. Novartis

officially meet in person, to share ideas and to promote dialogue
between each other.
This dialogue between the students will continue to be
promoted through an MSN chat-line which was set up during the
summer months. The chat-line provides the students with a costeffective and accessible avenue for networking and continued
conversation. Students talked on the chat-line once a week during
the program, and have agreed to continue the conversations
during the school year, although on a less frequent basis.
The Summer Student Program introduced the students to
networking and resources that have placed them on a more
equal plane with their sighted peers.
“Working for the Canadian Council of the Blind has placed
me on an equal playing field by giving me a similar work
experience as my sighted peers both financially and in gaining
work experience.” states Chelsea Mohler, 2006 Summer Student
, Brantford, ON.
“This program has helped me to become familiar with resources
that are available to me that I didn’t know about before.” states
Dawn Billingsley, 2006 Summer Student , Hamilton, ON.
“I was reminded that as visually impaired individuals, we
need to approach our lives with an open mind and look for
solutions rather than dwell on problems.” says Dean Pucsek,
2006 Summer Student, Ottawa, ON.
The 2006 CCB Summer Student Program was a very successful
endeavour. The program clearly made a difference in the lives of
the 9 students by giving them a chance to showcase their abilities
in the workforce. CCB

WELCOMES NEW
YOUTH CHAPTER
IN ATLANTIC CANADA
S
top the Presses! This just in; New Canadian Council of the
Blind Youth Chapter Announced!
The CCB Connected Youth Chapter of the Maritimes is
the latest youth chapter to join the Council. The Halifax, Nova
Scotia-based chapter is proud to include Paralympic medalist,
Amy Alsop, amongst their growing ranks.
The foundation for this new chapter was two students who
took part in the 2006 CCB Summer Student Program, which
employed nine blind and visually impaired students from across
Canada.
“After doing some research, we found there was a lack of
clubs for blind youth in the Maritimes. Instead of complaining
about it, or waiting for someone else to do it, we did it ourselves,
and it got done.” states James Shepard, 2006 summer student ,
Halifax, NS.
The youth chapter, which was founded September 9, 2006, is
an excellent example of just one of the positive spin-off’s of the
Council’s first-ever summer student program.
“Through out this three month period, we assembled a chapter
of the CCB designed specifically for blind and visually impaired
youth in Halifax.” says Mr. Shepard.
The chapter includes youth from local schools and Universities
who are interested in advocating for the rights of blind and
visually impaired youth in Canada.
Louise Burley, CCB member and supervisor for the summer
student program, has been instrumental in getting the chapter off
the ground.
“I showed them how the CCB voting process works, and how
to pass a motion; basically the business aspects of running a
chapter.” states Mrs. Burley. “The rest I will be leaving in their
capable hands.”
CCB has recently begun to emphasize the importance of
youth membership.
“Youth are the future of our organization.” says Harold
Schnellert, CCB President. “The youth of today are the leaders
of tomorrow.”
And who knows, with such a dynamic, young group in
Atlantic Canada, the CCB may already have a future President
amongst their ranks. CCB

DRIVING IN
HITTING A GOLF BALL PROPERLY IS DIFFICULT ENOUGH. DOING IT WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO SEE
WHERE YOU’RE HITTING IS IMMEASURABLY HARDER. LAST SUMMER SEVERAL DOZEN BLIND AND
VISUALLY IMPAIRED GOLFERS FROM AROUND ONTARIO TEED OFF AT A LOCAL COURSE PROVING THAT
THE GAME ISN’T THE EXCLUSIVE DOMAIN OF THE VISUAL.
BY SCOTT RADLEY, THE HAMILTON SPECTATOR
T
he swing is quite lovely. It starts with a smooth, controlled
windup. A strong but not looking-to-send-the-ball-into adifferent-area-code pivot follows. And the follow through is
excellent. As a package most golfers would be happy with it.
Problem is the guy attached to the club does what we all do
too often. The instant his seven-iron makes contact with the ball,
his head doesn’t stay down, but jerks up to watch the launch.
That one movement turns his Mona Lisa into a Velvet Elvis that
slices angrily off to the right.
The air under his breath turns a mild shade of blue for a
moment. Not because he gave in to the temptation to watch what
he thought was going to be the majestic flight of his ball but
because it was so senseless-- Gary Saxon is completely blind.
“Oh, I call myself #$!!&$% three, four, five times a round,”
the east end resident says, laughing at the insanity of the problem.
This day he did his muttering at Chippewa Creek as one of about
30 players competing in an Ontario Visually Impaired Golfers
tournament. The 60-year-old retired teacher is not only OVIG’s
membership coordinator, but one of a growing group of visually
impaired duffers who are taking up the sport that’s been around
forever but that’s always seemed to stay in the shadows.
Legend has it that in 1937 at the Waterdown Golf Club, a
Hamiltonian named Charlie Toot played the first-ever round of
blind golf. He’d been encouraged to give it a try by a coach of
blind bowlers named Jock McCallum who thought golf could
work for those without sight. Turned out he was right. Nine years
later, Toot won the first international competition ever, shooting
a 61 over nine holes.
While that score was hardly anything to be ashamed of,
two more Hamiltonians would come along and obliterate the
mark over and over again. Claude Pattemore, who lost his sight
in a construction explosion, won the Ontario Blind Golfers’
Championship 14 times and the Canadian crown 12 times. He
was the first Canadian to break 100 and on his best day, shot an
86. And Nick Genovese, whose sight was claimed by a welding
accident, won the Ontario title 19 times and added six Canadian
12
THE DARK
Championships. Both men died within the past year or so.
For a number of years, the city officially encouraged the
sport by offering a grant that gave blind golfers the opportunity
to play at Chedoke free. That was cut off five years ago. “It’s
unfortunate because some of the guys really relied on it,” Saxon
says. Considering that all the usual rules of regular golf apply the
only exceptions being, having the coach alongside, being able to
set up the club in a bunker and picking up the ball after reaching
five-over-par on any hole. The loss of that practice time hurt.
Not only do blind players naturally cover the course a bit more
slowly -- more than a few walk holding their club face and using
the shaft as a cane to feel their way along. They need a sighted
coach to accompany them to help with direction, distance and
spotting the ball. Those folks aren’t always easy to find and that
cuts down on playing opportunities.
And if you think you need time on the course to improve your
game, throw on a blindfold sometime and see how much work
you’d need to improve without being able to see what you’re
doing. Canadian golfing savant Moe Norman used to tell people
to close their eyes while practicing to develop muscle memory
and eliminate reliance on vision. While it might have worked
for him, for us mortal golfers, it’s a thoroughly discombobulating
experience.
It’s not until the lids are down that you realize how much of
the game is visual: aiming at a target, depth perception, making
the club face connect with the ball. Just check any golf magazine
or watch the Golf Channel for a few minutes and you’ll realize
that nearly every teaching aid relies on sight.
In the dark, you’re suddenly aware of every movement and
you realize what an odd sequence of events makes up a golf
swing. Then there’s the whole issue of self-confidence. Who’s
watching? How idiotic is it going to look to take a huge cut and
miss everything? Or worse, to catch the ground a foot before the
ball and jar your body so hard your spleen ricochets off your
kidney?
And aiming seems impossible. There are just too many
variables that can affect the flight path of a ball without the ability
to compensate or make adjustments in mid-swing.
“You do have some benefits though,” Saxon says. “You
don’t have to go into the woods to get your ball. You send your
coach.”
It’s one of plenty of jokes he cracks about his game. Saxon
says they’d hold the tournament at night if they could get better
rates except that the darn coach has to see the ball. Sure the game
is
frustrating,
but he laughs
because it’s fun,
too.
Born with only
10 per cent vision,
Saxon spent most of his
life seeing little. Swimming
underwater with his eyes open
is how he describes what he could
see before the last light went out altogether about a decade ago.
He was an athlete who ran and participated in sports, but never
golfed even though his dad was an avid player. He didn’t even
take it up when his son won the junior championship at Kings
Forest.
“Golf was something that was, like, five hours,” he says. “I
could go out and run 20 miles in that time.”
But there was more to it than that. Until about 10 years ago,
Saxon did all he could to hide his condition. Many of his students
never knew he couldn’t see. He didn’t want to be perceived
as being different but eventually, keeping it secret became
impossible.
So, five years ago, as part of a greater decision to get on with
life as a blind man, he took up the game. These days he gets out
eight or nine times a summer but wants more. The feeling of a
good shot is just too appetizing.
With no way to admire his shot visually, he gets his feedback
by touch and sound. The two senses tell him instantly when he’s
caught a good one. “The contact of the ball on the club doesn’t
feel hard or sound tinny,” he says. “You just hear “smack”, and
you know you’ve got a hold of it.” Other blind golfers have even
more refined senses of hearing and touch. During a recent day
on the course, Brantford comedian and avid golfer Gord Paynter
correctly identified the distance and direction of not only his own
shots, but those of others, simply by the noise they made.
“It’s feel, sound, balance, tempo, rhythm,” Paynter explains.
Standing on the driving range of the satellite course at Highway
20 and Mud Street -- a place once owned by Claude Pattemore,
Saxon picks up his five-wood, gets some help to set his club, and
swings, “that one felt nice,” he says.
At almost the same moment the words tumble out of his
mouth, the ball makes landfall. Three bounces later, it stops.
It’s sitting just past the 200-yard marker after a perfectly straight
flight. His head is still down. CCB

THIS YEAR DURING WHITE CANE WEEK
From page 15
Since 1946, due to the CCB’s initiative, the first week of February has traditionally been “White Cane Week” in Canada. The
purpose of White Cane Week has always
been educational. Over the years, the
White Cane Week program has evolved
to reflect the changing situations of people
who are blind and vision restricted. But
one thing has stayed constant: the CCB’s
efforts to break down barriers. Visit the
CCB website at www.ccbnational .net to

White Cane Week:
Proud to be Part of
Winterlude Festival
T
he 2007 Blind Curling Bonspiel, which takes place during
White Cane Week™ promises to be a wonderful event as
it enters it’s second year as part of Ottawa’s internationally
renowned Winterlude celebration.
CCB is excited to maintain and expand their relationship with
the National Capital Commission, champions of the famed festival.
The weather may be mild but the Capital is still gearing up
for North America’s greatest winter celebration. The National
Capital Commission has plans to ensure that the full slate of
Winterlude activities scheduled for each weekend from February
2 to18, 2007, takes place regardless of the weather. While some
events may be slightly modified, there is no question that the
fun and excitement of Winterlude will be in full force for this its
29TH edition.CCB
Canadian Council of
the Blind Invites Blind
University Students to
Try their Hand at Curling
C
CB has extended an invitation to blind and visually impaired students at Carleton University, in co-operation
with the CCB Carleton University Chapter, to come out
and try their hand at blind curling
The students are invited to come down to the Ottawa Curling
Club, on Sunday February 4 between 1 pm and 5 pm.
In co-operation with the Canadian Curling Association
(CCA),CCB would like to introduce the sport of blind curling to
students across Canada. CCB are launching this endeavour in
conjunction with the third annual Blind Curling Championship
Bonspiel.
The afternoon will include a viewing of the Brier Trophy, along
with a picture session with the trophy. Jean-Michel Menard, the
2006 Brier Champion, will be attending the event as well.
The students also have a chance to win prizes, as well as meet
blind entertainer and Order of Canada recipient, Terry Kelly.
The CCB Carleton
University chapter is in
its second year of existence, and the first one
at a Canadian University. It provides a great
opportunity to get more
youth involved with the
Council. CCB

THE HISTORY OF
WHITE CANE WEEK
®
The celebration of White Cane Week 2007 marks
the fourth year CCB assumes full responsibility for the
event. In 1921, a photographer named James Biggs of
Bristol, England was blinded in an accident. Released
from hospital, he came up with the idea of painting his
cane white so it could be easily seen at night.
The advantages of the white cane soon became
apparent as people alerted to Biggs’ blindness assisted
his movements with guidance and by warning him of
obstacles.
Biggs’ innovation soon became an internationally
accepted symbol of blindness. Today, nine provinces
have legislation which restricts the use of the white cane
to those who are legally blind.
Since 1946, The Canadian Council of the Blind has
designated the first full week of February White Cane
Week® in Canada.
The objective of White Cane Week is education. Each
year a theme and/or slogan is adopted for White Cane
Week which serves to focus public attention on a facet
of blindness and visual impairment.
The CCB’s 70- plus clubs from coast to coast give the
campaign an effective national base. Our grass roots
network provides local support for the broader national
awareness campaign.
From the first ever White Cane Week, with only
a handful of individuals who were blind or vision
impaired participating, White Cane Week has grown to
become a national network of special events, hands-on
demonstrations, open houses, and tours.
Over the years, the White Cane Week program has
evolved to reflect the changing situations of people who
are blind and visually impaired. In early years, White
Cane Week was used to draw attention to concerns for
good rehabilitation and blindness prevention. More
recently, White Cane Week events have emphasized the
equal capabilities and talents of people who are blind
and vision impaired. CCB
The Canadian Council of the Blind: Our Mandate
The CCB’s primary mandate is to act as the voice of the blind. This requires us to focus on activities that express
the concerns and interests not just of its membership but of also its stakeholders—the blind and visually impaired.
CCB activities fit into five broadly defined categories.
1 Peer support • assisting other persons who share the same disability and encouraging their independence.
2 Advocacy • participating in activities designed to improve availability and /or accessibility of services of all kinds.
3 Public Awareness • activities designed to increase the general understanding of the challenges faced by the stakeholders
and their successes in responding to them.
4 Learning • developing opportunities for stakeholders to gain the confidence, knowledge and skills that give greater
access to learning opportunities.
5 Empowerment • through the sense of association increase the capacity to work for the stakeholder’s ‘public good’.
Participation in local community events, both as citizens and as disabled persons, and interaction with the providers of important
services [airport authorities, educational institutions, etc.] encourage and enable full participation in Canadian society. The sense
of independence enables greater interaction which in turn creates further interaction.
The CCB is active in expressing the needs of its stakeholders in government policy and program development processes.
Availability, appropriateness, accessibility of information services, of transportation systems, of educational services, of pensions are
the types of needs and concerns that engage the CCB.
The CCB is a membership-based organization. Members are currently those who are blind and visually impaired and pay the
$10 membership fee.
Members participate as volunteers in the peer support, advocacy and educational activities of the CCB. Members manage the affairs
of their chapters consistent with the constitution, by-laws and operating guidelines of the Canadian Council of the Blind. Members
may be elected to executive functions locally, provincially and/or nationally. They also serve on various committees at these levels.

CANADIAN COUNCIL OF THE
BLIND REACHES AGREEMENT
WITH THE CANADIAN CURLING
ASSOCIATION
T
he CCB has reached an unprecedented agreement with
the Canadian Curling Association (CCA) to promote blind
curling at the club level across Canada.
The CCA will assist the CCB in developing manuals for coaching
and training. The responsibility of the CCB will be to get the
message out to the blind and visually impaired community to say
that there is a unique opportunity to be active and enjoy the sport
on a recreational level.
One of the main catalysts to reach this agreement was based
on the success of the past 2 national blind curling bonspiels with
a national blind curling championship to be held during White
Cane Week 2007.
“These bonspiels have shown the blind and visually impaired
as well as the sighted community that the emphasis of the CCB
is on ability and not disability.” states CCB president Harold
Schnellert.
Special credit must be given to Sport Canada, Danny Lamoureux
of the CCA and Barry Winfield of the Canadian Paralympic
Foundation who have worked behind the scenes to make this
agreement happen and to Michael Hayes of the Ottawa Blind
Curlers who has been relentless in promoting blind curling. CCB

A CANADIAN COUNCIL OF THE BLIND INITIATIVE
PUTTING COMPUTERS IN THE HANDS OF THE BLIND
T
he Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) and CompuCorps
Mentoring (CCM) are working on an initiative to put 10,000
computers in the hands of Canada’s blind and visually
impaired in Canada.
By the end of White Cane Week 2007, the CCB and CCM hope
to have reached an agreement that will provide 10,000 members
of CCB with refurbished laptop/desktop computer systems.
The computer systems would come complete with a package
of software to assist low vision or blind members with computer
applications and with access to the internet, all at an extremely low
cost.
The initiative will also develop a new TechMentor program
that would recruit, train and support an estimated 5000 IT
and computer volunteers to provide one-to-one software and
computer training for CCB members at each-and-every CCB
chapter across Canada.
The initiative plans to begin operations in the Ottawa region,
before moving on to the National level.
CompuCorps Mentoring is a registered charity located in
Ottawa that provides assistance with computers and technology
to charities, nonprofits, and CED organizations in Canada.
CCM enlists IT professionals to volunteer in the community
using unique approaches to help a wide range of charities from
environmental groups to kids groups. These IT professionals help
to apply appropriate in-depth technical solutions so that people
in nonprofit organizations can use technology more effectively
and efficiently as they work to make the world a better place.
Please visit the CCB website at www.ccbnational.net for
updates on this exciting initiative. CCB

White Cane Week Magazine:
More than Just a Magazine
Algonquin College Goes
Marketing With CCB
T
he CCB has just struck a deal with
Algonquin College, in Ottawa, which
involves 16 graduating students from their
marketing program. The students will
be working with the CCB to develop a
strategic marketing plan.
The students are part of the Student
Marketing Plan Co-Op Project, which has
been in place at the College since 2005,
and has received high praise from former
clients.
The project provides students and the
CCB with a mutual opportunity to collaborate on the development of a marketing
plan package for the organization.
The project will include the establishment of target markets, research regarding
competition assessment, and a complete
media plan. Research is done through focus groups, interviews and surveys.
The 16 week project will take place
from January 2007 to April 2007, and involves 3 teams
of 6 students.
The
students
are backed by a
professional Algonquin College
Faculty Advising
Team. CCB
W
hite Cane Week Magazine 2007 provides valuable support to White Cane Week
in a variety of ways.
With a circulation of 10,000 the magazine reaches CCB members all across the
country. We encourage CCB members to distribute the magazine to local eye doctors
and health practitioners, getting information into the hands of those who may benefit
from it most.
The magazine serves as a Resource Guide, listing contact information of hundreds
of organizations both for, and of, the blind and visually impaired. I invite you to
browse through the guide; you may be surprised just
how much is available to you.
The magazine gives CCB an opportunity to thank
our supporters, as well as give an annual report on
happenings within the Council. I would also invite
you to read up in this issue on new CCB By-laws approved by the Federal government recognizing CCB
as the largest organization for the blind in Canada.
Last, but certainly not least, the articles in the
magazine are a vehicle to showcase the abilities of
blind and visually impaired Canadians. In fact, the
articles themselves are a testament to the abilities
of the blind, as most of the articles are written and
edited by visually impaired staff writers.
I would like to invite you to send in stories,
with the possibility of including them in next year’s magazine. These stories can be features on local events during White Cane Week 2007, or success stories of blind and visually impaired individuals. Stories can be sent to Mike Potvin at
[email protected]
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the read! Here’s to a fun and safe White Cane
Week.CCB

LOOKING BACK AT WHITE CANE WEEK 2006
BY STAFF WRITERS
Last year’s White Cane Week was a great success! Events included
our second Invitational Blind Curling Bonspiel, a Flying Fathers
Hockey Tour and countless local activities.
BLIND CURLING BONSPIEL
Former Canadian and two-time world curling champ Eddie “The
Wrench” Werenich helped kick off the largest known Blind
Curling Bonspiel for White Cane Week 2006. Teams from across
Canada attended the event at the Ottawa Curling Club, February
5 to 11, for an amazing week of top flight curling competition.
The week wrapped up with the Curling Awards Banquet,
which included guest Speaker Cathy Moore, CNIB Director of
Consumer and Government Relations.

LOCAL EVENTS
The Alberta Clubs had a very successful week. There was quite a
bit of publicity on various radio and TV stations last year. There
were various displays in both Edmonton and Calgary, bowling,
dinners and mall walks. The Calgary club had a very successful
event at Chinook Mall called “Walk a Mall in My Shoes.”
The Newfoundland Division had a successful White Cane
Week. The week was very successful during the past two years in
both areas of the province. In addition to the regular activities
of the week, Curling went over well with The Helen Keller Club.
Ontario Division held their second Blind Idol competition,
which garnered local publicity in Brantford.
The PEI Division held events for White Cane Week as well.
The CCB Prince County and Queensland Chapters held their
Annual Bowling Tournament with Lions, Sea Cadets, and Girl
Guides participating. The Lions won the trophy and the CCB
presented medals to the top three winners
The Manitoba Division took part in White Cane Week with
a number of events, a main event being a Tea Party held in
Winnipeg.
Sydney, Nova Scotia held an event with the Flying Fathers and
Walter Gretzky. It was a fun time and it did provide awareness
to many in the area as well as great entertainment. The Sydney
Chapter did a lot of work and everyone enjoyed the hockey
game. Many people became more aware of who CCB is and
what we stand for.
British Columbia had a successful week with mall
demonstrations, television and radio coverage and school
presentations. Donations were also given to local libraries to
purchase audio books for the blind. CCB

Merck Frosst leads fight
against GLAUCOMA
At Merck Frosst, patients come first. Merck Frosst
Canada Ltd. is a resesarch-driven pharmaceutical
company. For more than a century, we have
discovered some of the most important medicines
that change our daily lives. Our research efforts
span many spheres including glaucoma. Our
scientists have been involved in research in
ophthalmic diseases for over 25 years. In the
1970s, Merck Frosst scientists discovered timolol
maleate, the first beta-blocker medication used
in the treatment of glaucoma. This is an eye
disease caused by increased pressure within the
eye. It effects 1 in 100 Canadians over 40. Early
diagnosis, through regular eye exams by an eye care
professional, may prevent permanent damage to the
eye.
Our commitment to ophthalmic diseases
extends beyond the research and development of
new therapies. Through the Merck MectizanTM
Donation Program®, established nearly 20 years
ago, the Company provides its MECTIZAN®
(ivermectin) tablets free of charge to people at
risk of onchocerciasis (river blindness) in some of
the poorest countries in the world. MECTIZAN®
halts the progression towards blindness thereby
dramatically affecting the quality and duration of
life. Merck has donated more than 850 million
tablets since the inception of this program. Merck
will continue to donate MECTIZAN® for as long as
needed, wherever needed, to fight river blindness as
a public health problem.
Merck Frosst is committed to discovering
medicines that improve the quality of life for
Canadians. As long as there is disease and suffering,
we will continue our search.

Q&A
ON THE RECORD WITH HAROLD
SCHNELLERT, PRESIDENT OF THE
CANADIAN COUNCIL OF THE BLIND
As President of the Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB), Harold Schnellert is a dedicated leader
and a hard-working advocate for blind and visually impaired Canadians. During his term as
President thus far, Mr. Schnellert has worked tirelessly to change what it means to be blind in
Canada. Recently re-elected for a second consecutive two-year term at the 2006 CCB National
Convention, Mr. Schnellert plans to continue his quest to raise public awareness to the Council,
increase membership and continue to support blind and visually impaired Canadians.
Here, Mr. Schnellert submits to a litany of queries regarding the
direction of CCB and issues relating to the blind in Canada.
are Advocacy, Blind Awareness, Chapter Assistance, Membership
Development, and Peer Support.
What is your role in CCB?
In my position as president I would like to see each division and
chapter take an active role in advocacy. If we do not advocate
for ourselves, who will?
I am presently the National President of the CCB, re-elected for
a second two-year term at the recent National Convention. As
president of the organization, I am the Chairman of the National
Board of Directors, which includes an elected representative
from each division. In Board matters I do not have a vote except
as a tie-breaker. I am ex officio chair of all national board
committees.
In what direction do you see the CCB heading?
CCB must continue building its membership base, which must
include blind and low-vision seniors, working-age and young
adults, and youth. We must give all members the opportunity to
serve and work for and with blind/low-vision people in their local
communities, whether or not they hold CCB memberships.
In your opinion, what CCB programs are most important
for the upcoming year?
The programs which are important to the CCB in the next year
56
If we truly want to “Change what it means to be blind” we must
diligently work at increasing our membership, which is the base
of the organization
Membership growth is the key to a healthy future for our
organization. The youth and young adults are essential to the
CCB’s future success. Yes, we will always need the mature adults
to lead and guide; however leadership roles undertaken by
the younger generations will help develop the CCB to fulfill its
mandate into the future.
How do you see the CCB fitting into the lives of the blind
and visually impaired?
Firstly, the CCB must help and support its members. It must
mobilize them to become active in support of the needs and issues
affecting them. We must develop the tools to make this happen.
Each member must take an active role in making this a reality. 4
From page 56
How do you see the CCB fitting into the lives of blind
and visually impaired Canadians?
The CCB is the vehicle or the means by which blind and visually
impaired individuals may express their needs and concerns. The
visually impaired as a group needs the resources of the CCB, and
in turn the CCB needs their support.
through advocacy, through the media, and peer support within
chapters and the development of new chapters across the country
were all highlights of 2006.
Do you feel there is an opportunity for CCB to collaborate
with CNIB?
How important is it to involve blind and visually
impaired youth in CCB?
There is not only an opportunity to collaborate with the CNIB, but
a need to do so, as they are the national service provider for and to
the blind and visually impaired in Canada. It not only behooves
us to collaborate with them, but with other organizations who
work with, for, and in support of the blind community. We are
not an island unto ourselves.
The blind and visually impaired youth are the CCB of the
future. It is extremely important that we garner their support
and commitment, empowering them to perform significant roles,
preparing the CCB for the second decade of this century with
them leading the way.
CNIB provincially and nationally has the peer support system
in place for their clients. Many of their clients are members of
the CCB. CNIB has always been and still is the source through
which we obtain many of our potential members, and through
collaboration that process can be simplified and enhanced.
What did you see as highlights for CCB in the last year?
How is CCB “Changing what it means to be blind”?
CCB had an extremely successful White Cane Week
celebration.
The CCB is allowing its membership to fulfill their roles as
participants in what the organization is doing on their behalf at
the national, divisional and chapter levels. We are doing this by
giving them a voice and decision making powers at all levels of
the CCB. The role of the membership must broaden and become
more inclusive in the future to keep the CCB as a vibrant support
to all blind and visually impaired in Canada.CCB
CCB held an equally successful National Blind Curling
Bonspiel.
During the year there was excellent public awareness of the CCB
The Canadian Council of the Blind
on behalf of it’s over 65 coast to coast chapters and more
than 600,000 blind and vision impaired members wishes
to express its special thanks and appreciation
to the sponsors of White Cane Week 2007.

CCB Board of Directors 2007
Harold Schnellert, CCB National President
Within the CCB, I have several goals I would like to see
accomplished. I would like to see increased membership
in all divisions, and the re-addition of a Quebec Division
should we be able to locate a base group to work with.
More chapter development in present member cities and
development of chapters in other cities which are not
part of the CCB family. I am pleased that we adopted a
new set of bylaws; positive change developing within
“The Council” once the bylaws become effective will be
witnessed. Better communications between all levels of
the CCB. We are one large family, not splinter groups

standing alone. More cooperation with other chapters in
cities where additional chapters have been developed.
My favourite hobby is reading good books on tape, and a close second is watching the Blue Jays, NHL and CFL games
on TV or listening on the radio to games. My favourite movies are two old ones, “The Field of Dreams” and “The Sound
of Music”.
I enjoy a variety of books and authors. If I read a book which interests and intrigues me, I will make certain I read
more of that author’s work. Regarding my favourite sports teams, in the NHL I like the Calgary Flames, and in the CFL
the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and in MLB the Blue Jays.
My favourite food is ham and scalloped potatoes. If I were an animal, I would be a dog - A Yellow Lab Retriever.
A couple of activities I like to do are walking and 5 pin bowling. My favourite time of year is springtime when
everything is green and starts a new cycle over again.
The statement “Ability, not Disability” to me, means that, regardless of a physical or sensory disability, I can do most of
the things that anyone with full sight could do. We all have different interests; however we need the opportunity to do
the best we can at what we do, and the opportunity to accomplish what we want to.
Norman Lyons, 1st Vice-President
My goals within the CCB are to see that the
organization becomes a multi – purpose, diversified
organization in the community from coast to coast,
taking its rightful place and be recognized for who we
are and what we do.
My favourite hobby is playing lotteries and playing
with numbers. My favourite movie is Shallow Hal, and
my favourite author is Mickey Spillane. Regarding
sports teams, I am a homer so yes, The Winnipeg Blue
Bombers is my favourite team and yes, they will be
better next year! Doug Barry should be CFL Coach
of the Year! I have several favourite kinds of food, but
mainly I am a meat and potatoes kind of guy. I also

pizza. If I were an animal, I would be a dog, because of
my tenacious nature.
An activity I like to do is curling and I don’t get enough of it. My favourite time of year is when it is warm, then I can
enjoy the sights and sounds and get out and live.
Ability coupled with Disability is my motto. It means that I can do what it takes to get it done utilizing all of the
faculties available to me.
59
Elizabeth Mayo, Newfoundland/Labrador Division
Representative
Elizabeth Mayo out for a walk on the
beach.
My favourite hobby is reading,
especially books by Catherine
Cookston. My favourite movie
is The Sound of Music, and my
favourite food is seafood. If I
were an animal, I would most
likely be a horse. An activity
I like to do is dance and my
favourite time of year is the fall.
To me, the statement,
“Ability, not Disability”, means
to focus on what a person can
do, not what he or she can’t do.
Terry Parsons, Saskatchewan Division
Representative
My goals within the CCB
include making sure blind
people are taken care of under
the CCB Umbrella.
My favourite movie is the
Shawshank Redemption, and
my favourite kind of food is
pizza. If I were an animal, I
would be a bear. Working as
a volunteer for Various Blind
Organizations, is an activity
Terry Parsons on his wedding day.
I like to do. Summer is my
favourite time of year.
The statement, “Ability, not Disability”, to me means,
one can do what ever they want in ones own capacity.
Donald Grant, Ontario Division Representative
include seeing an increased
awareness of CCB with a possible National membership
goal of 10,000,and five hundred clubs.
My favourite hobby is playing golf & watching hockey
and most other sports on
television. Jaws is my favourite
movie, and Golf Digest is what
Don Grant out playing golf.
I enjoy reading.
The Montreal Canadiens are
my favourite sports team, and steak is my favourite food.
If I were an animal, I would be a deer. Travelling is an
activity I like to do, and summer is my favourite time of
year.
To me, the statement, “Ability, not Disability”, means
the loss of sight is not the loss of life.
60
Carl Edwin Cartier, British Columbia/Yukon
Division Representative
My goals within the
CCB include working
towards more accessible
transportation in B.C.
Glass work is a hobby of
mine, including stained
glass. Regarding sports
teams, I enjoy watching
the Vancouver Canucks
and the Edmonton Oilers.
When it comes to food, I
am a steak and potatoes
kind of guy! I enjoy
working around my house.
My favourite season is the
summer.
Carl Cartier with Sharon Wagner, Executive
Director of B.C. Division.
To me, the statement,
“Ability, not Disability”,
means going out and getting something done, and not
saying that a disability holds you back in life.
Heather Hannett, Alberta Division Representative
include letting people
know we are of the Blind
and for the well being of
the Blind. I would also
like to spread the message
that as a member you have
a bigger voice as part of
a unit. A third goal is to
increase membership,
more youth members. And
lastly, I would like to see
that eventually everyone
will know who we are and
Heather Hannett with her grandchildren Austin not confuse us with CNIB.
My favorite activity is

lawn bowling at a local,
national and international level. My favorite sport to
watch is curling, and when it’s on, I get glued to the TV
and everything else passes me by.
My favorite time of year is Easter. The snow is usually
gone, trees are getting new leaves, and grass is growing,
flowers blooming and the feeling of rebirth and renewed
hope for the year to come.
When I hear the statement, “Ability, not Disability”,
I believe that, everyone has abilities, of some nature
that people see before what you yourself might feel is a
“disability”. I believe that whoever you may be, there is
something that distinguishes you from all others, which
is your ability. I believe that no one has a “disability”
because his or her “ability” shines through.
Louise Gillis, 2nd Vice-President
Louise Gillis with her Grand Niece,
Mikaela Sievers, at their old family
home in Skye Glen, Cape Breton.
Within the CCB, I would like
to see members working to
improve the life of blind &
low vision Canadians so that
more people will have a better
lifestyle. A hobby of mine is
bowling. My favourite movie
is The Sound of Music, and
my favourite author is Charles
Dickson.
My favourite sports teams
are the Toronto Maple Leafs
and the Blue Jays. Chicken is
the kind of food I enjoy most.
If I were an animal, I would be
a cat. An activity I like to do is
travel, and my favourite time of
year is the fall.
“Ability”, means that while I have been handed more
than one “disability”, I have also been given the strength,
willpower and determination since I was 2 years old to
move beyond them and lead a very productive life.
Linda Sobey,
New Brunswick Division Representative
Sandra Poirier, Prince Edward Island Division
Representative
Within the CCB, I would
like to see that when you
say “Canadian Council of
the Blind”, people wouldn’t
mistake it for the “Canadian
National Institute for the
Blind”. It would be nice to find
a way to distinguish between
both organizations.
My favourite hobby is
knitting baby sets, slippers,
hand towels, dishcloths and
Afghans. My favourite sports
Sandra Poirier, busy knitting a pair of
team is the Toronto Maple
slippers, at the Miscouche Rec. Center, Leafs, and my favourite foods
during Christmas Craft Fair 2006.
are Hawaiian Pizza and
coconut cream pie. If I were an
animal, I would be a teddy bear!
Bowling and cribbage are activities I like to do, and
the fall is my favourite time of year.
When I think of “Ability, not Disability”, it reminds me
that I can still do the same things that I used to do but in
a different way. I try not to get too frustrated when I have
a hard time reading things, and my magnifier comes to
the rescue every time for me!
Since my vision loss in 1990, I have been involved with CCB beginning with being a member; Club President; Club
Secretary/Treasurer; Division Board Member; Division President; and National Board Member representing the CCB
National on the World Blind Union. All of this has been a learning process and I feel that I have contributed in
various ways. In the future, I would like to see the CCB accelerate into the number one Organization for the Blind
and I believe we are on the right track to accomplishing this
endeavour. I would like to be there for the Blind all over the
country as well as for all over the world, to assist in any way that
I can.
Horseshoes and Washer Toss are two things I like to do. My
favourite Author is Danielle Steele. I can get the books in large
print and I do enjoy reading when I have time- like on the plane
when traveling for CCB or in Doctor and Dentist Offices while
waiting for appointments.
I’m not much for sports teams. However, I do enjoy watching
or even trying to play curling. Regarding my favourite food, I love
Cheesecake!
I love to go walking especially in the fall in the woods or
country when the turning of the color of the leaves makes
Linda Sobey and John Bullen, former NB Division President, presenting CCB
everything so gorgeous it is hard to describe. The fall is one of
Central NB White Cane Club Charter, April 27, 1994.
my favourite times of the year along with spring when everything is
beginning to bloom, etc. And of course Christmas is a wonderful
time for family and friends and remembering the recent past, but most important, the birth of our Lord and Saviour.
“Ability, not Disability”, to me means that we should use what ability we have to the best that we can do and not sit
back and feel sorry for ourselves and let life pass us by just because we have little or no vision. It gives me hope and
strength that there is much to be done to educate others and show them that because of vision loss, we are still able to
be a good asset to society.

SEE THE FUTURE
THROUGH THE EYES
OF A LEADER
At Pfizer Ophthalmology, we’re focused
on a better tomorrow
Imagine a future that’s free of blindness caused by disease.
Imagine a future where people around the world have healthy
vision. Now, imagine the first steps of an infant viewed clearly
through the eyes of her grandmother.
These are the things that we picture while we define our role as
a leader in ophthalmology. Our commitment to the treatment
of ocular disease has been established through our glaucoma
therapies, PrXalatan* and PrXalacom**, and is reinforced with
the launch of our latest therapy, PrMacugen***, for the
treatment of age-related macular degeneration, and also
through various educational and research initiatives.
Our dedication to ocular health in developing countries
is demonstrated by our involvement in the International
Trachoma Initiative, whose goal is to eliminate this
blinding disease. Moving towards tomorrow, our ongoing
investments in research offer new promise in other areas
of ocular disease such as diabetic retinopathy and
further developments in treatments for glaucoma
and macular degeneration.
All of these efforts are driven by Pfizer’s commitment
to the healthy ageing of Canadians and our vision of
a future where better health is shared by all.
