Celebrating 25 Years of the AEBC: Reflecting on our Past - Planning our Future

In 2017, the AEBC turns 25, a significant milestone in the life of any organization that is a time worthy of celebration, reflection and planning for the future. Most grass roots groups like the AEBC do not celebrate the accomplishments of their organization and its members nearly often enough.  To celebrate our 25th anniversary, this collection of articles, written by a diverse group of AEBC members, reflects on what we have accomplished and where we should set our sights for the future. We hope you will find something in their reflections that will ring a bell in your minds and hearts, and encourage everyone to participate even more actively in AEBC’s work in the months and years ahead.

Canadian Blind Monitor

The CBM is a free yearly publication that provides short stories about people who are blind, partially sighted and deafblind. Most often the stories put forward a progressive viewpoint about what it means to be blind as well as some of the issues that affect the lives of people who have limited vision. It is hoped that the publication serves to stimulate thinking and discussion as well as change some of the misunderstandings, misconceptions and negative stereotypes about blindness.
