The Disability Diaries With Steven Vine
Kent Stewart: 'I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying'
Kent was born with poor vision. He was active in sports as a young person, in spite of his vision issues. As time went on, his vision continually lessened. He had to change career paths a few times because of his vision. He was considered legally blind by the time he was in his 30's. He eventually started to work for the CNIB (Canadian Institute for the Blind) and started a peer support group. Once he went totally blind, he started up his own business which he still manages today. 'Magnify' supplies low vision equipment and serves the needs of anyone experiencing vision loss utilizing Kent's experience, knowledge, and expertise. Through empathy and understanding and by providing physical and education tools, the barriers of vision loss can be conquered.
Kent keeps active in Kelowna, British Columbia with Dragon Boating, Curling and Outdoor hiking.
