In 1963, in the face of public outcry, the Canadian govenunent announced that the "Thalidomide Problem" would be "solved" by an armual grant of $200 000. This sum was to cover three new prosthetics research and training centres, in Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg, and prosthetics research here at UNB. There was much criticism of that initiative, initially because the sum was too small and the objective too gr andiose, most recently in litigation by the Thalidomide Survivors Association. But direct results include the Rehabilitation Engineering Department of the Hugh MacMillan Rehabilitation Centre, substantial continuing prosthetics research programs at l'Institut de Readaptation de Montreal and at the Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, and t...
