On June 12 June, 2009, my good friend Carl Vancer and I (Terry Hoddinott - owner of Braille Masters), rode a tandem along with 36 National Riders in an incredible journey from Vancouver to Halifax to raise much-needed funds for Childhood Cancer. I have been totally blind since age 3 as a result of Retinoblastoma, and both my children have had the same cancer.

Some of our customers include: Swiss Chalet, Casey's, Kelsey's, Holiday Inn, East Side Mario's, Pizza Hut, Montana's and Boston Pizza.

Why is it important to provide Braille and Large Print materials?:

• They are a valuable service for visually impaired customers; seniors with low vision love them.


• Seniors who find "busy" menus difficult to follow may also find our large print menus easier to read.


• They can help to widen your client base. 6% of the population have some form of visual impairment.


• Our professional, complimentary window stickers are a powerful public relations tool. They also remind staff that materials are available in braille and/or large print.


• Legislation may soon be enacted making equal access (including access to all print material) mandatory.


• They enable visually impaired customers to independently browse the menu without the aid of your staff.


• People who have difficulty seeing in low light conditions or those who forgot their reading glasses may also benefit from these menus.


• Even if patrons with visual impairment don't use Braille or large print materials, they are guaranteed to appreciate the offer and remember your establishment.

We base our quotes on quantity of materials to be produced. We rarely recommend more than 2 Braille or large print menus per store. You'll be surprised at how affordable equal access can be!
