A 'lightning rod' for bank's diversity  Pina D'Intino remembers
the day as if it was yesterday, even though 10 years have
passed.   One minute she could see everything around her, the
next she was plunged into permanent darkness.  D'Intino was
scheduled to have surgery for acute congenital glaucoma, a rare
form of glaucoma occurring at birth that can usually be
corrected with surgery.  Things did not turn out the way she
expected them to. She lost her sight soon after the surgery,
and, for just a moment, her way in life.  "I was right back to
square one and coming back to work with a disability is
relearning everything. Even relearning to walk all over again,"
says D'Intino, who worked for Scotiabank.  Her employer was
already making strides toward creating a work environment
accessible to people with a disability.  "It wasn't just a
learning experience for myself; it was a learning experience for
my managers and my peers," says the 46-year-old mother of three,
referring to the decade-long process of change.
