CIPS adopted a new vision document entitled, CIPS in the 21st Century that strengthens the organization's commitment to the professional development of all IT workers in Canada. The CIPS vision focuses on professionalism and the Information Systems Professional (I.S.P.) designation. The vision calls for a strengthening of the I.S.P. designation. The I.S.P. designation is what sets CIPS apart from all other Canadian IT associations and reinforces its commitment to IT professionalism.

The major difference with the new CIPS vision and the existing CIPS vision is that the new CIPS vision clearly focuses the organization on promoting professionalism in informatics, whereas in the past the various parts of CIPS were left to decide for themselves what it means to be the "voice and champion of the professional" or "providing leadership in information systems and technologies." CIPS now has a document that sets out in much more specific terms what it means to achieve its vision.

Information is fuelling the new world economy. Information is often the most sensitive and always the most valuable asset of any organization. As a result, the IT industry is constantly changing to manage information better. IT professionals are required to respond as the industry changes. These changes put IT professionals under constant pressure to become stewards of information. IT professionals must be knowledgeable and uphold the highest standards of conduct and ethics.

The CIPS vision has been realized for a number of years now. However, as a non-profit, volunteer association, CIPS unfortunately has not had the resources to conduct the research and work necessary to implement the CIPS vision actively. However, CIPS believes that through the continued strong support of CIPS members and various stakeholders, CIPS will be successful in achieving the CIPS vision.

Rick Penton, I.S.P., CIPS President (2004-2005) is leading the CIPS vision. Various sub-committees composed of CIPS stakeholders will assist in achieving the CIPS vision. All IT professionals are encouraged to join a committee(s) or help in any way you can. Please inform your local CIPS Provincial or Section President that you would like to be involved.

The CIPS vision reinforces CIPS's commitment to the professional development of all IT workers (including CIPS members) in Canada. As CIPS focuses on professionalism and the promotion of the I.S.P. designation, CIPS members become an integral part of achieving the CIPS vision.

CIPS is taking on more initiatives in the area of advocacy to be able to better represent the interests of all IT professionals. Initiatives will focus on professionalism and various topics/issues affecting the IT profession and industry. John Boufford I.S.P., CIPS Vice President (2005-2006) and a member of the National Executive, is leading the advocacy portfolio. CIPS wants the I.S.P.

All professionals and employers of IT are welcomed to participate actively in the implementation of the CIPS Vision in a variety of ways: by joining CIPS Committees and/or Sub-Committees, providing insight/feedback on the various important initiatives CIPS is undertaking, encouraging IT colleagues to become members of CIPS, and promoting the CIPS vision and the I.S.P. designation.

The I.S.P. designation enables CIOs to maximize their return on investment by reducing risk in their hiring decisions. By hiring staff or contractors that are I.S.P.

The CIPS vision demonstrates CIPS's dedication towards professionalism. The changes that CIPS is making to the I.S.P. designation will make a significant, positive impact on CIPS, the industry and the profession. More IT professionals will be encouraged to become members and CIPS will have the representation it needs to be the voice of all IT professionals.

Although Vision Therapy is currently an Optometric specialty, it is actually an outgrowth of orthoptics. Orthoptics, which literally means "straightening of the eyes", was introduced to this country by physicians in the late 1800's. As physicians became more focused on eyeglasses, medication , and surgery, the benefits of orthoptics were taught to fewer and fewer practitioners.

The pool is to be built with future development of an integrated community recreation complex in mind. It is anticipated that there may be re-developed in future to provide for a fully integrated complex.

Unlikely. PXE is one of the few diseases in which disciform degeneration does occur outside the macular areas and so there is a remote possibility that some involvement of peripheral vision may occur. [September 2006] Research conducted by PXE International estimates that about two thirds of individuals with PXE have vision loss, and about one third of individuals with PXE lose their vision enough to be legally blind. No one loses total vision; peripheral vision remains.
