Integration â€" Our Future In Halton County Over the years, the program for White Cane Week has evolved to reflect the changing situation of blind y C eAz cA en n tha annaaram Lapr UR )’\/(«LLO, LR LCO L 120 t iss I y ie t Sn ns 1 on n .0 ns T and visually impaired people. In its early years, the week was used to demonstrate the concern for rehabilitation, blindness prevention and advocacy. In more recent years, events have begun to emphasize the capabilities of the blind and the visually impaired people themselves. The aim is to draw blind and sighted Canadians closer together in order that they may be able to support one another. "In this decade and into the next century we are going to have to develop a healthy attitude about blindness and visual impairment. I think that people like myself who are blind, or others who have poor or failing vision, have to be made comfortable in the recognition that there is nothing wrong with this human condition. It is respectable to be blindâ€"â€"It‘s 0.k. to have poor or failing vision in this society," says Dr. Euclid Herie, CNIB President. "People are our most precious natural resoqurce,"" says Geraldine Braak, CCB President. "All people have the ability to contribute, and when recognizing this, you learn to overlook the disability. People who are blind or visually impaired should be accepted as people first and accepted for their abilities, regardless of their disabilities."
