Graeme McCreath was born in the United Kingdom and became blind at age 9. Initially trained as a shorthand typist, he has beaten the odds and, through his tenacity and strength of purpose, has worked all his life. He lives with his wife and family in Victoria, BC, where he works as a physiotherapist in their private practice. Over the years, he has gained a passion for blind civil rights.

From Charity to Parity

From 70 to 80 percent of blind Canadians have never had a job. Graeme McCreath believes now is the time to establish a system that allows the blind to achieve autonomy rather than having to rely on charity. We can show our capabilities and push the federal government to persuade potential employers to “give it a try.”
We should apply for the jobs the same as everyone else and be held to the same standard.
