Wherever you are located, the international braille community is strong. As we look ahead into the bright future of braille literacy, there is much to celebrate and share.

Braille Literacy Canada (BLC) will be holding its sixth annual virtual braille symposium, Six Dots, No Limits – Six points sans limites on Friday May 22, 2026 from 1 – 5 PM Eastern (10am Pacific, 11am Mountain, 12pm Saskatchewan/Central, 2pm Atlantic, 2:30pm NFLD). This event will be of interest to braille readers, educators, transcribers, parents and anyone else who is passionate about braille literacy!
