    Outlook 2026-03-16 - Blindness 101, The Before, With Actor, Advocate, Athlete Jennie Bovard

    Our guest for this one says: I’m so keen now on representation and demystifying things for people and inviting them in and like: “Hey, understand my experience. I’m not the weird character you saw in that movie. Do not fear me. I’m a human being. I’m Jennie”. This week on Outlook we’re speaking with advocate, actor, and athlete Jennie Bovard, from her home in Halifax, about her experience with low vision, about her humorous Accessible Media Inc. scripted series “Pretty Blind,” and about the "Low Vision Moments" podcast that inspired the television program. She shares why she decided to get involved as a trainee to facilitate Blindness 101 workshops in her province, the people and industries she’s hoping to bring the workshop to, and about how if she doesn’t take up the challenge, who else is going to? Jennie was born with a condition which impacts the body’s ability to make pigment in the hair, skin, and in the eyes which has taken her on a journey to accepting her Albinism, in working for the younger generations with Atlantic Provinces Special Education Authority (or APSEA) and and into educating others (after encounters like the one on an airplane where she was handed a question written on a napkin about what her magic powers were) and trying to figure out how to push back on the stigma of such an obvious physical difference. Even plants and animals have Albinism in nature which highlights the awesome diversity that exists in all living things on the planet. Tomayto tomato when it comes to language sometimes, but we hear from Jennie about her preferred wording for her genetic condition and hope to dispel some of the myths that exist around Albinism out there, in North America and beyond, as we know that just having one friend with it growing up, like sister-co-host Kerry did, only means you are familiar with one person’s lived experience of what is clearly a visible disability. . She also tells us more about how she used to try to blend in and play down some of the condition’s issues in the attempt to not stand out. We ask Jennie what her takeaways were from spending a few days, training with Kerry and the other Blindness 101 facilitators, in Vancouver last November at the Blind Beginnings office and she tells us: When you’re hunkered down and not only spending time together but you’re spending time actually collaborating and working together and having discussions about the workshop and why we’re all there, I think you become faster friends because you know what one another is about and what you’re passionate about and close borders and good food together that all helps too." Kerry agrees that it was a pleasure getting to know Bovard, along with the others, during their time in British Columbia and we hope you will check out this episode and learn more about Jennie's advocacy work, in media and in sports and education, along with hearing her firsthand lived experience of Albinism with Albinism Awareness Day coming up on June 13th.

    Outlook 2026-03-09 - International Women's Day With Writer & Filmmaker Kerra Bolton

    After first spending a magical week in community together in Mexico nearly a decade ago, sister/co-host Kerry has taken multiple classes and workshops from writer and filmmaker/producer Kerra Bolton such as - Writing with Your Ancestors: Infusing Memoir with Family History and Say It Plain. “It’s very hard in writing and what I’ve noticed among writing students is that a lot of times when they are afraid to be vulnerable, they will write about something instead of writing through it...I get it, when I was writing about learning how to swim in my forties, which ended up becoming my first film: “Return of the Black Madonna,” it was hard to be vulnerable. And so, I had to really write through it and not just write about a subject,: says the adventurous Kerra about an experience like going from first putting your face into a pot of water to eventually finding buoyancy in the ocean. Kerry first met Kerra at a writing workshop in San Miguel de Allende, far from any body of water, back in 2017 and they have stayed in touch ever since, following each other’s life stories as time has gone on. This week on Outlook, for Kerry’s now annual International Women’s Day episode, she speaks with her friend and kindred spirit about their time together in San Miguel as Kerry shares an unforgettable offer Kerra made near the end of that week; one female supporting the other in the midst of some first time independent world travel jitters. Concerning themes of race, trauma, and legacy, Bolton has been published in places ranging from online community Sweatpants & Coffee to CNn. She has worked on projects such as the documentary Detroit Rising which explores restorative justice in Detroit schools, communities, and nonprofit settings. These two friends discuss finding joy, metaphors around black and white and night and day along with white fragility and the running from the feeling of any discomfort in standing up for a better, more equitable world. They talk through when to speak (up and/or out) in social media spaces or on their own platforms, for example, and when to sit in silence with ourselves as women. focusing on personal growth or embodiment practices. Also, they could and do spend a bunch of time around cultural critique of the treatment of women such as Beyonce and Taylor Swift in the country music genre, the differences in how some female artists are given breaks and chances in belonging in certain creative spaces more than others. During March’s Women’s History Month, these two cover women in pop culture, bond over having similar spelled/sounding names, and they also share their literary love of Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery who once said: "When I lose anything in this life I like to think I may find it in the next. After all, everything in the universe goes in circles - day and night, the seasons, the roll of the planets around the sun. Everything comes back to its starting point and begins again." Both Kerra and Kerry, like Anne of Green Gables pals," remain kindred spirits with their shared love of this iconic literary character, like Anne Shirley, one fictional and two real life writers utilising writing for self expression, and through work as advocates in the differing work they do from their little corners of the world, until they can one day meet IRL once more.

    Outlook 2026-03-02 - Blindness 101, The Before, With Returning Guest Blaine Deutscher

    For 2026’s "Blindness 101" workshops, offered this year with no cost to recipients and facilitated by Blind Beginnings Society out of British Columbia, our guest this week says, on bridging the gap: "The biggest bonus is it’s free. For this year, we’re literally doing a workshop that any company if they were to call and have a talk on autism in the workplace the person that they call would wanna be paid. We’re doing a workshop that will help in so many ways because blindness is one of those conditions that is overlooked in so many ways and it hopefully will bridge that gap and build relationships with people and make life easier for all parties involved.” This is the month where we in Ontario spring ahead with the clocks, whereas two provinces west of us, they do not. March dawns, and with it dawns the beginning of 2026’s Blindness 101 program with our first 101 guest of the month, coming to us over in the province of Saskatchewan. A new month and this week on Outlook we’re speaking with return guest (having first been on with us during Covid), Blaine Deutscher, whom sister/co-host Kerry finally met in person late last year in Vancouver at the Blind Beginnings office after having met virtually through Canadian Federation of the Blind meetings in recent years. The two of them, along with several others, gathered together in B.C. for a weekend of training to become official Blindness 101 workshop facilitators. First we catch up with Deutscher, with the start of the 2026 Paralympics, on Blaine’s love of adaptive sports including golf and hockey, the latter of which he’s been playing for over twenty years. He’s glad to see the sport spreading across things like age range and geographically across Canada and internationally. For background on his life including sports, check out our guest’s first visit to this show almost exactly five years ago: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/outlook-2021-03-22-discussion-with-blaine-deutscher/id1527876739?i=1000514107207 Whether it be the unfair and inconvenient policy trains, buses, and airlines expect that people with disabilities and service animals provide up to 48 hours notice if we expect assistance or the abundance of inaccessible forms we’re required to fill out, these are all disability related barriers some of us deal with. Blaine uses the example of manual vs motorised wheelchairs and the reasons a wheelchair user might want to have both modes of mobility at their disposal. It’s the same for white canes and/or guide dogs, his most recent being Oscar who will be eight in April. Like all who’ve had a guide dog, he has to decide if he’s going to train for another and speaks on some of the growing cons that exist when it comes to ridiculous ignorant policies and fears happing with companies like Uber, when anybody is going to have times when they are tired and don’t feel like walking, when a bus or other vehicle would be faster. Kerry and Blaine discuss the team that he and Oscar are and how they worked as a team to navigate through the city of Vancouver last November compared to his life in Saskatchewan when it’s forty below or he’s trying to find the right bus and listening in hopes that the audible announcements for bus numbers is working or not. Today we have a conversation about selling yourself and specifically for these lived experience workshops. For more on Deutscher’s viewpoint on this stuff, Blaine says: "I can read a book once and be like, "oh that was a really good book." I can read it the second time and be like, "I don’t remember that in this book." Yes you can have an agency come and speak, but then you can have us come and speak and even if the workshop was identical, there’s always something because it’s a different perspective every time that you might learn something different." So join us for this first part, a before from this before and after “Blindness 101” with Blaine as Blaine and Kerry look back and reflect on their training weekend and how the group bonded, practiced, and connected, through learning how to facilitate “Blindness 101”. And if you are a business, organisation, or other group who might be interested in having a “Blindness 101” workshop (free of charge in 2026), if you are located in Saskatchewan, Ontario, or elsewhere in Canada then reach out to us, Blaine (deutscherblaine@gmail.com), or by going to their website: https://www.blindbeginnings.ca/blindness-101-workshop Or by emailing us here at Outlook and we can pass on any requests to the appropriate provincial facilitator: outlookonradiowestern@gmail.com as we hope this will eventually spread to all provinces and territories not just British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Nova Scotia. (Later in March on Outlook we’ll be speaking with Nova Scotia’s facilitator so stay tuned here and for the rest of the year for “the before and after”.

    Outlook 2026-02-23 - Puzzles, Action & Access, Rare Disease Day 2026

    Life is one giant puzzle and we spend it simply gathering up all the pieces we can and attempting to put them in some sort of working order. This week we’re talking the puzzles of life on Outlook - it’s nearly Rare Disease Day, an awareness day that is on the final day of February each year, as every four years it will then fall on February 29th, the rarest day of the year. Sister/co-host Kerry is sharing about recently looking into other possible conditions to add to the diagnosis she and brother/co-host Brian seem to be dealing with, as we also discuss more about the rare syndrome we have already been diagnosed with: Senior-Løken syndrome which includes our retinal blindness, kidney disease, and scoliosis. Kerry explains why she’s taking things to the next level and what she’s doing such as applying to get into a clinic in Toronto for connective tissue disorders and Brian explains the where and when and what of Senior-Løken. Kerry brings props into the studio for this one including a giant marble model of the Earth Barry gifted Kerry and the braille heart puzzle she gave BF Barry for Valentine’s Day to illustrate how difficult it can be to sort out proper medical diagnosis for a wide array of physical and mental and emotional symptoms like ours. Also, to make a heart the right way up with the braille in its proper place. For years, as patients and spending plenty of time at children’s hospitals, there were always puzzles to keep kids occupied, on tables in waiting rooms. Our older brother follows the steps, as he did when he came in, fully equipped, to figure out what the issue was with Kerry and Barry’s surround system speaker while our grandfather always had someone’s homemade wooden puzzle for us to figure out when we visited. Other members of our family have always had double jointed fingers, extra flexible feet and hands, enough that a few hundred years ago we could have been in sideshows, but with Kerry’s latest symptom of daily foot pain we’re reflecting back on our medical past while Kerry receives tests like an ECG of her heart to try to find out more about a possible hyper-mobility condition such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. We discuss running into our old Braille transcriber at a community spaghetti/lasagna dinner, sports including Canada’s hockey losses in the Olympics and fantasy baseball starting up again, while BF Barry and Kerry announce they’ll be flying with the leprechauns in March, springing once more four or five hours into the future with the clocks about to change and spring ahead. But before March we’re finishing up February as the boys share about birthday month and Family Day, which Barry fits right in on, with the weekend guys night to celebrate our brother-in-law’s birthday a day after Barry’s and BF Barry looks Kerry up by searching her rare conditions, with a rough sounding voice which might be a clue into all the talking that went into attending guy’s night. We’re extra rare and BF Barry believes it. Dare to be rare and check out more about Rare Disease Day and this year’s theme of “Action and Access” with the voices of the rare youth and their voices for change: https://www.rarediseaseday.org

    Outlook 2026-02-16 - Barry Presents The Return of the Kijewski Sighted Siblings

    Sibling: each of two or more children or offspring having one or both parents in common; a brother or sister Regular co-host BF Barry isn’t used to this term, being from Ireland where the word is less commonly used and more something clinical, a word a social worker might use. He is an only child so we figured he’d be the perfect person to moderate this year’s Family Day sibling episode. This week on Outlook, in honour of it being Family Day, Outlook is doing our third one of these (after sibling episodes both in 2021 and 2022) and after taking a few years off of doing this themed show: us four Kijewski siblings are back together. We start by covering pets, like we often do the weather with our other guests, talking new dogs added to the gang since we last recorded one of these: bulldog Ethel having joined our brother’s family (along with first bulldog Norman back in 2020) and including sister Kim’s “big, dopey sweetheart” Otis the Golden Doodle. And we can’t forget Barry’s guide dog Oyster in the midst of it all. Sister Kim’s family are down to zero bunnies after last count of eleven and we even cover brother Paul’s longtime pet snake Meekus. From pets to wild animal encounters, Paul shares how he first got fascinated by snakes on a 1992 family vacation in Florida. While the sisters recount a surprise interaction with a rattlesnake on a gravel path, in the woods, at the camp all four of us attended as a pre-grade eight graduation class trip where Kim was sister/co-host Kerr’s guide for the week. From pets and wildlife to children/nieces and nephew updates, Paul and Kim share about the ages their children are now at. Paul’s Sophia is in high school, all grown up, and going for her driver’s permit at the end of this year while Kim’s daughter Mya is in third grade and liking school, nots so much until she is there, but enjoys a good old snow day when she can get it growing up in snowy Canada like we four all did. The nephews (Reed and Max) are growing up too. Max is an old soul and constantly surprises his mother and father, melts his mother Sue's/Paul’s wife’s heart with the things he says. Kim’s Reed is heading for the same camp we all attended, near to Kerry’s favourite memorable spot on the rocks by the water, heading for graduation from eighth grade and onward to high school next year. Kerry will only be down the street if he ever needs somewhere to go for lunch. Barry inquires whether our sibling’s peers ever said anything mean about Paul and Kim having younger siblings who were blind, but the answer is surprising, more hopeful and positive than that. Then, he asks them if they ever liked to tease us because we couldn’t see them, however their answer is a regular, boring one whereby we all recount tormenting each other in equal measure (sneaking up on one another) just like any other sibling might do. We all get along rather well and our memories are of growing up in a family like any other, the usual fighting over the TV, as only child Barry ponders what it might be like to have such close bonded relationships as we’ve been lucky enough to have. We talk the effort our sister and brother make to learn enough braille to make holiday cards for us in accessible formats, while this next generation continues, in curiosity with our niece having made braille bookmarks to hand out to her teacher and classmates in the past. It’s a good, old fashioned family conversation about snakes and dogs and kids. Barry says, in regards to doing this show with the four of us: A good bunch you’s are. While oldest sibling Paul says in reply: We like talking to you. You are a good dude. And so BF Barry leads us through this familial chat as part of our family now. Maybe next year he will do an episode where he and our sister and brother-in-law have a chat about what it’s like joining the Kijewski family along the way.

    Outlook 2026-02-09 - We Identify As Blind, An Early February Mixed Bag Monday

    Ra Ra Braille! We at Outlook are cheerleaders for braille, whether it’s Braille Literacy Month in January or now being into the month of February and for this first Mixed Bag show of the month following January’s BLM, we continue talking braille this and braille that. This time we’re talking third co-host BF Barry using his learned braille skills to play a card game with brother/co-host Brian or Brian having a go at playing a new game on his phone: Whack a Braille! “An audio first and blind first game built around increasing your touch typing and braille literacy.” This week we’re talking bagpipes, supporting local, and accessible app and game development with Barry’s tales of his favourite inclusive game Glory Frontline. Sister/co-host and Birthday Girl Kerry shares about an audiobook she’s been reading, a memoir by a female musician first introduced to Kerry at the Perkins Museum in Boston in 2024 - I Identify as Blind: A Brazen Celebration of Disability Culture, Identity, and Power. Lachi says about disability, “Just say the word,” along with describing what she terms “disploitation” meaning the exploitation of people and their disabilities (for centuries with a bunch of racism tossed into the mix), then speaking of PEP which stands for positivity, empathy, and pride in the “Disability Movement” and in oneself. And speaking of...Kerry talks trying to be open to another side or perspective (in this case a conservative viewpoint) with a recent Canadian Conservative Leadership Review weekend in Alberta and a Con politician who propped up a trans Con to say that intersectionalities like those on the gender spectrum are unimportant: “Me being trans as like the least interesting thing about me,” this person said on said politician’s video This, Kerry and the boys discuss, is about ideology and tokenism and the well-known “I have a black friend” defence for things like belittling and scrapping the need for EDI (equity/diversity/inclusion) even if that is representative of recognising us all, on this show, as full human beings who acknowledge all the parts of us. So from online and virtual games to the old-school card games made accessible, whether it’s using braille or listening skills and being comfortable with our own voices with a good old-fashioned ramble we’re delving into the mixed bag of topics for this one at the start of this Rare Disease Month.

    Outlook 2026-02-02 - Structured Discovery Training In Canada With Elizabeth Lalonde

    For White Cane week in February, this year we have a discussion with Elizabeth Lalonde about the recent completion of her Masters Thesis: --An Interpretive Analysis of the Effectiveness of Non-traditional or ‘Structured Discovery’ Blindness Rehabilitation in Canada from the Perspective of Blind Service Recipients and teachers This week on Outlook we’re speaking with Elizabeth about building confidence as a blind traveler and the difference between route training and the “structured discovery method” we’ve often spoke about on this show and of which Lalonde teaches at The Pacific Training Centre for the Blind, which she founded and runs on Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada. She tells us: Structure discovery, it can include routes. Sometimes that’s the best way to get somewhere is you wanna learn the route. So it doesn’t mean that it excludes more traditional forms of rehabilitation. It just means that it opens the door for other ways of perceiving your environment, learning to perceive your environment in a more holistic way." Elizabeth shares her lived experience of blindness growing up and connecting with an opportunity to “learn blindness skills” training which led her to want to bring the same sort of rehab program to others closer to home. She tells us about the non visual skills they offer at the PTCB and the “Blind People In Charge” program she launched with the help of a grant from the provincial B.C. government. Elizabeth recognises with non visual learning: “When you have sight, you just tend to use it, (you can’t help it) so it can distract you from using your other senses to get around and to do things.” We talk about the hesitancy, whether new to blindness or not, for many of us to be afraid of wearing things like sleep shades to remove the distraction of any level of seeing when we’re learning how to explore our environment, with all our senses and perceptions, during blindness rehab. We reflect on the types of messages on blindness and early O and M instruction we were given and training we were taught, we highlight the common sense and lived experience in the expression “the blind leading the blind” as sister/co-host Kerry relates that back to her most recent memory of the community and confidence-building that can come from traveling in a group of blind people, and we examine ways of adapting “structure discovery” for the individual and their specific intersectionalities and unique learning styles, Regular Outlook co-host Barry says: “We’re getting taught static navigation for a dynamic world,” when it comes to how blind people receive orientation and mobility instruction. This conversational, truly from an international perspective along with our focus on Canada (with the thesis we’re featuring for its historical significance to blindness rehabilitation anywhere) episode provides a fairly comprehensive bunch of topics that return, always, to the subject of Elizabeth Lalonde’s thesis and our lived experiences with it. We at Outlook want to thank Elizabeth Lalonde for her hard work on presenting us all with a wider window on the landscape of blindness skills training here in Canada, on some more particulars around this thesis, and by doing this on completion of a Master’s degree in Community Development from the University of Victoria. Your work on this topic will be an important study and resource of rehabilitation for the blind in Canada and beyond. Through multiple modalities: including literature study and interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA, a qualitative methodology) ) with interviews she conducted with both students and teachers of the “structure discovery model”, Elizabeth paints a clearer picture of the landscape of Canada’s attitudes and offerings of blindness skills training.

    Outlook 2026-01-26 - Blindness 101 With Shawn Marsolais & Shawna Lawson

    Blindness 101 testimonial: Shawna (mother of a son who is blind) says, "People won’t leave being an expert in blindness, I don’t think as a sighted person I would ever call myself an expert. Even when Charlie is sixty, but I think that de-stigmatizing is what the workshop’s intending to do and ending the awkwardness is the hope, that people feel like they’ve had enough information and they’ve had the experience to interact with the facilitator who’s blind or has low vision…the hope really is, if you employ people or you serve people then this training is right for you so we’re just trying to get it out to as many organisations as we can." The first week of February was White Cane Week and it’s important to make the public aware of things like what a white cane means for its user, January was Braille Literacy Month and speaking with braille users is the best way to learn the necessity and value of braille in our lives, plus this discussion with these two guests brings together the perspectives of two people who know that blindness doesn’t mean less capable and that we’re out here in the world. On this episode of Outlook we speak with Shawn Marsolais (founder of Blind Beginnings and blind herself) and Shawna Lawson (co-founder and innovation lead at Inclusive Experiences and mother to son (Charlie) who was born blind) about the creation of the “Blindness 101” workshops and sister/-co-host Kerrys’ facilitator role in them in Ontario in 2026. We talk for the hour together...Laughing over the language discussion and terminology game of disability but it goes further than language (the chicken or the egg problem), and about the value and purpose of Blind Beginnings gathering, what Shawna refers to it as, “a national network of workshop facilitators with the lived experience of blindness,” thanks to a grant from the federal government for a year of free Blindness 101 workshop offerings all across the country (even though these offerings are worth paying for and so these free offerings this year are a definite bargain). Shawna says: "It’s so important to have facilitators with lived experience of blindness and that is a big part of the workshop magic too." The Blind Beginnings “Limitless) philosophy is centre stage with this work and Shawn says, "Anywhere where there are people, there might be people who are blind. Train yourself up so you’re ready when they come into your program or your restaurant or your store or your whatever so there isn’t that awkwardness. It really does teach some of the etiquette and it’s "blindness 101" cause it’s an introduction to how to offer sighted guide, how to read braille, (just the alphabet) or think about how to include somebody in a social situation. It really it just gives you those basics." Shawn has done these workshops, for years now on her own in Vancouver, for things like daycare worker staff training and medical office assistant college classes so anyone could potentially hold these for their employees or students or members. So if there’s any organisation, company, group, or business (public services) who would like to discuss having one of these workshops, please do reach out to either us, outlookonradiowestern@gmail.com (for Ontario) or (in other provinces) Blind Beginnings for more information: https://www.blindbeginnings.ca/blindness-101-workshop Contact Kerry: https://kayconsulting.ca Learn more about Shawna Lawson’s Inclusive Experiences: https://www.inclusive-experiences.ca And listen to Shawn Marsolais’ previous appearance on the show: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/outlook-2022-10-10-limitless-possibilities-with-blind/id1527876739?i=1000582557754
