ROOM II’s TRIP TO WINNIPEG
On Wednesday, June 14, 1961, Room II took off to
Winnipeg where we had an appointment for eight o’clock
at the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (C.N.I.B.).
First we went to see how they made brooms. While going
through it, one blind person remarked to his friend,
“Sounds like we got visitors”. We then went in to see the
women sewing dresses. Some of them could see a bit.
Other companies employ people in the C.N.I.B. to do
work for them. The next place we went was to the place
where the older people who do not wish to learn a trade,
live. Before we entered, we encountered with a blind
person who had lost his tobacco. After finding it for him,
which he appreciated very much, we were shown the
lounge, their rooms, the auditorium, and part of an encyclopedia
in Braille. Our leader was completely blind. In
fact he had plastic eyes.
Canada Bread was the next place. Here we saw the
process of making bread. That dough, ugh, it didn’t look
much like the dough our mothers make. We were all thankful
to get out of there and eat our dinner.
The slums on Jarvis Street were next and they truly
can be called slums.
At one o’clock we were at the Coca Cola factory. They
were changing over from the ten ounce to the six ounce
bottle. Meanwhile we saw the film “The Wonderful World”.
We saw how they made the signs, cleaned the bottles,
mixed the drinks, and the bottles that had a chip or
couldn’t get them clean, were sent to be crushed and away
to Alberta where they could use about one third of it. We
all got some souvenirs.
Now we had to be good because we were in the Police
Station. We went through the building, cell and all. In
the end one group was still looking at the court room and
the other group had a look at the police’s revolver which
costs about seventy-eight dollars.
We are all very grateful to our drivers who made the
trip possible.
