Welcome to White Cane Connections.

My name is Sue Boman. Yes, that’s me in the picture posted here. I have called this blog White Cane Connections because I am one of the many people who use a white cane. I began this blog because I wanted to write about a project I undertook in 2012. The plan was to complete a series of walks using my white cane. Between March and September, I walked in 82 different locations across Canada. So, the blog begins by telling of my experiences and the many people I met along the way.

While this particular journey has now been completed, I find that I still have much to write about. I am continuing to make new white cane connections, and so for the time being I will continue to add regular posts to this blog. I am hoping that you will be a partner in the journey.

July 24 - Spanish, ON

The most interesting thing about our walk in Spanish today was to climb 143 steps to a lookout above the marina at the northern tip of Lake Huron.  The first thirteen steps were cement with no handrail.  The remaining 130 steps were metal, with a handrail.  I usually find climbing up steps easier than coming down.  I used to think that it was because my eyes were closer to my feet when I was going up and I could perhaps see a little better.  I have now concluded that it is also further to fall when I am going down than when I am going up.  In actual fact, the metal steps were not too bad.  They were evenly spaced and I held the handrail all the way.  Lyle told me that the view at the top was especially lovely and peaceful.  We are off to Sudbury and the big nickel this afternoon.

    That is a lot of steps, glad it was not me climbing, as it hurts the back of my legs. LOL.
    Will be waiting to hear what you thought of the University of Waterloo.
