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.

October 3 - A Monthly Report


Today I am beginning a new trend. Instead of posting on the blog as often as I have been doing so far, my intention for the next while at least is to make a monthly summation. I have very much appreciated everyone who has been so faithful in checking in to see the latest White Cane Connections news reports, but now I think that the blog is due for a change. Initially I had thought about closing the blog altogether, but I am still out there tapping away with my cane, still meeting new and interesting people, and still having my own white cane adventures.  

Nevertheless, I feel that the time for change is right. If you read the last post, you will know that it is a year and a half since the White Cane Connections walks got underway, and already a full year since Cape Spear. I’m not sure what my next project might be, or indeed if there will even be one to write about.  Perhaps just getting on with life with limited eyesight is a project in itself. There is often an unanticipated challenge around the corner.

I am hopeful that the learning journey will continue. I have learned much over the past eighteen months. I have enjoyed writing about my experiences and telling you some of the stories that others have shared with me.

I plan to write my next post during the first week of November and I will look forward to meeting you again with a new surge of energy on my part and with more stories to tell.

Sue
