RESOLUTION OF THE CANADIAN BRAILLE AUTHORITY
Adopted 24 April 2010

• Whereas UEB has been adopted as a code for international use by the International Council on English Braille, and
• Whereas UEB has been adopted and implemented in other English-speaking countries thereby increasing the braille materials available in the same English braille code to people who are blind in the developed and developing world, and
• Whereas UEB is one code for literary and technical material which encourages a seamless approach to the instruction of technical subjects, and
• Whereas training materials are available,
• Therefore be it resolved that the Canadian Braille Authority adopt UEB as the preferred code to be implemented in Canada.
• To this end, CBA will provide the necessary leadership to bring provincial ministries on side with implementation and will help develop strategies to achieve successful outcomes for all stakeholders.
