This is not a political post. Every election, I try to speak to all candidates and one of the concerns I bring up is Accessibilty in social media. I spoke with @NatePike last week about ensuring his posts are accessible for all #Ward3YYC. Thanks for listening and taking action!

CNIB Brand Ambassador, @BenMulroney chats with CNIB Guide Dogs buddy dog team, Zach & Elsie from Calgary. Learn how Elsie is helping Zach through COVID-19 social distancing and recovering from a recent surgery. Watch the full interview: cnib.ca/en/news/interv…
Does anyone use tactile materials to track their D&D character? Looking for ideas for VI kids that are still in the process of learning screen readers.
Zach was interviewed for this podcast about his braille journey and in particular his winning the 2019 CNIB Braille Creative writing contest for his age group. #BrailleIsLiteracy #BecauseBraille

Zach has been accepted into CNIB Buddy Dog Program. Elsie became a part of our family yesterday! You can learn about Buddy Dogs and how they help youth with sight loss prepare for a potential Guide Dog and follow Zach & Elsie’s adventures on Instagram. instagram.com/invites/contac…
Hey @CNIB , do you have a fact sheet or some other resources about the new ACA legislation and how it affects people with sight loss? Something that is simple and easy to understand.
Do you know a teenager in your life who’s eager to learn about hardware programming? I’m piloting a workshop for free! bit.ly/learningcodeyy…

Zach finished his braille sign for Disability Pride Parade this Sunday morning in Calgary. It’s reversible so it’s accessible for sighted folks. We are excited to attend! @DisabilityAB
Just went to the Maid & Butler Cafe @Otafest. A pleasant surprise was that the dancers used light sticks making the performance #accessible for my legally blind son. Thanks!
Teenagers get a bad rap. As a sighted parent of a kid with white cane, teenagers are the first to get out of his way and let their sometimes distracted friends know he is coming. They offer help respectfully by asking rather than just doing . Society has a lot to learn from teens

Today's #sightnight theme is #worldsightday and we wanted to celebrate another team who participates each year from @EyeBonavista. Meet Jillene Cooper, optician, who is running sight night every night of the event. Head over to our Facebook page to read some of her tips!
Earlier this year, we were approached by a group in Red Deer to establish a #sightnight event in their city. Unfortunately COVID hit and plans changed. BUT the group from Red Deer made it happen and we couldn't be more excited for them.
