June was a busy month for the Division, but we did manage to host our Call Ins.  Steve Barclay from Canadian Assistive Technology (CAT) updated us on the latest assistive tech available.  This summer we took some time off and hosted two Call In sessions – one in July and another in August.  In July, we shared our preferred cool off summer beverage, Yichun Zhao from UVIC updated us on his research concerning diagram accessibility for people with visual impairments and those of us who attended the Division’s Summer Sports Days talked about our experiences.  At our August 17th Division Call In, Susan Flanagan, Marilyn Rushton and Lachlan Gilchrist-Blackwood shared information about BC Blind Sports programs and the Active Living Network.

If you are interested in getting a link to the above Call Ins, please email: ccbbc-yukondivision@telus.net

If you have any requests or suggestions for us, please be sure to let us know.  Remembering our success is because of you!
