Her companion also wore a black and yellow jacket, and shouted at her constantly - behaviour which struck me as extremely rude. In the chairlift line, I noticed them again - she, smiling, happy, moving carefully for- ward: he, behind her, concerned but still issuing instructions. Then as she moved to get onto the lift, I realized with a start that she was totally blind, and he was her guide. Their jackets were the international symbol of the blind skier; their club, the Ski Hawkes; their object, Saturday afternoon recreation. For the non-handicapped person, recreation is a basic need; for the han- dicapped person, it is not only a need, but therapy as well - an integral part of every rehabilitation programme. The goal for most blind, crippled, deaf, retarded and otherwise handicapped individuals is integration back into the community and into the mainstream of life. Recreation is a pathway to that integration. But the process is a two-way street; the community must be willing to help. Invite your disabled friends to join your group and make a few allowances for him. But how, you ask? How, for instance, can a deaf person play hockey? "Substitute lights and flags for whistles and sound, and the deaf can play any game. There is still the problem of communication to overcome; many of us have mystical misconceptions about disabled people; and consider them an ethnic group with a language and culture we are incapable of comprehending. To a large extent, this is because we have been cut off from disabled Canadians, since they have sheltered programmes; lack of contact leads to lack of awareness. Conversely, the disabled people have remained in the sheltered programmes because they are good programmes, and we cannot guarantee the same quality in in- tegrated programmes. As well, they have spent too many years on the sidelines of life to take a chance on the benevolence of abled people; in this sense, the onus is on the community to prove its worth to the disabled person, rather than vice versa. But the future is bright. Sheltered programmes must remain, but only for those who cannot function in the community ac- tivities.
