About Us
It does not shock our fellow members that the four organizers and executives of SIRI are blind, but it surely would have impressed our grandfathers. The advent of the microchip and the generosity of donors have made this possible.
Current Distribution Plans
In preparation for our first stage distribution program, SIRI is currently evaluating equipment and software. We will begin to train and support our Ontario members by the fall of 2008, and begin servicing the rest of Canada twelve months later.
