The annual Canadian National Institute for the Blind fund-raising appeal here this year has turned to the more aggressive door-to- door campaign in consider- ation of other charities being run in the comnitinity. Last year, the Lions held a two- day campaign, including a downtown information centre. } This year it'll be:shorter, but more aggressive, accor- ding to Greg Smith, Lion Campaign Chairman. The target set by the local club is up by over $150. from last year, and organizers hope the new aggressive campaign will raise it. All funds are funnelled into the Peterborough Zone office of the Lions, from where the entire zone is serviced. The acquisition of a leader dog by Bill Fitz last year was one example of the Lions Club work in support of the blind. . Residents are also asked to support the yearly drive for eye glasses, " Collection boxes are set up at each bank in the community. "People who have lost some or all of their sight still maintain an active interest in what goes on about them,' said Mr. Smith. '"They still participate to the best of their ability in education, sports, recreation and business." A Civic Engineer in a small town in northern Can- ada is one example of this continued participation. Losing his sight eight years ago, he underwent rehabilit- ation through the CNIB and became employed as a con- sulting engineer for the mun- Bob Thomson will keep you in hot water for just pennies a day The Gulfstream Natural Gas Water Heater HHOMSON HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING Prince Albert icipality. Keenly interested in music, he: became the - Director of the town's 15 piece orchestra. He then ran for Town Council going from door to door campaigning for votes and subsequently win- ning. the election. Not everyone reaches this level of achievement but whatever level they do reach, CNIB services are there for their use. 30,000 .Canadian from across the country including some of our local citizens benefit from these services. To meet the increased demands of today's highly developed society with its special needs, the CNIB is continual- ly expanding its programs and technical sophistication. "More than ever," said Mr. Smith, "we must res- pond to the CNIB appeal for funds to ensure that the level of participation of blind people in our community is not 'only maintained, but in- creased." For the.newly-blinded per- son in Canada, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind provides the way to help the individual adapt to his or her new environment. But the individual must have the will. One example of a newly- blinded person with the will to succeed as a tourist camp operator from Western Can- . ada. Upon losing his sight in a hunting accident, he under- went the adjustment training course offered by the CNIB. Returning to his home pro- vince he was determined to realize a life-long ambition of opening a tourist lodge. He and his wife invested in one in the north and today he is the owner of a successful hunting and tourist lodge. He had the will to succeed and with the over 80 services which are available to the 30,000 blind people in Canada from the CNIB, he is living a full and enjoyable life today. "Our contribution to the CNIB annual appeal in Port Perry," said Mr. Smith, "helps the CNIB continue to provide the way for the successful rehabilitation of blind Canadians in our com- munity and across the country."
