Triple Vision

You Actually Might Have Choice

Episode Summary

"In this week’s episode, the Triple Vision team speaks with Elizabeth Lalonde of the Pacific Training Centre in Victoria, and Deborah Gold of BALANCE for Blind Adults in Toronto. Elizabeth and Deborah talk about how their organizations offer rehabilitation services to the blind and visually impaired community. The podcast offers a glimpse into how Canadians do have choice, although still somewhat limited, when it comes to the services they can access. “We learnt a lot through the pandemic. I’m very proud of the way we pivoted in four days. We were really the first organization serving blind people in North America to be able to continue service. I was online with people all over the States, working in organizations. It took months for many of them to get so that they could provide service again. We never stopped.” "
