You could try a number of groups. Noticing that Tina is from Northern
Alberta, I will also include some groups from Alberta that may be
helpful.
1. The most obvious one is C.N.I.B. from both a national and provincial
level.
2. Alberta Society for The Visually Impaired. (ASVI) Which can be
contacted through the Edmonton and Calgary CNIB's.
3. Alberta Transcribers Society. Unfortunately I have lost my contact
point with them.
3. Alberta Provincial Governments Material Resource Center, MRC, located
in Edmonton. This organization does a lot of the Braille for K through
12 for the Education system.
Hope this helps.
