Greetings! I'm Scott Savoy, managing editor at http://www.sterlingcreations.ca and a very happy new year to all of our readers.
I hope that everyone had an enjoyable Christmas/holiday season and that 2012 is a smashing one for all.

The right to sport
By Donna J. Jodhan
So many of us take for granted the ability to take advantage of recreational sports; whether it is sponsored by our city/community or it is done on a personal level. The mainstream world probably does not think too much about this but for blind persons the right to sport is not always available let alone reachable.
With the emphasis being placed more and more on fitness, it is important that blind persons not be left out. At the best of times, we as blind persons have to depend on others in order to be able to take advantage of recreational sports. We need sighted help to do such things as swim in community pools, use city and community facilities, and go ice skating, skiing, and participate in other types of winter sports.
With an increasing trend to becoming and staying fit, and with the emphasis being placed more on older persons being able to take advantage of recreational sports, I do hope that blind persons will be able to benefit as well. It is so important for us to do this. In the real world, it is difficult for us to access most recreational sports on our own so we need to let the appropriate authorities know of our desires and demands.
As an avid ice skater, I have managed to keep up my activity by working with recreational centers in my city and I do my best to be a participant in various clubs that cater to blind participants. Here’s hoping for more opportunities for blind persons to participate in recreational sports.
I'm Donna J. Jodhan wishing you a terrific day and weekend.
