Comic Vision Oakville will be held on April 28th at Le Dome, with a sold-out audience of 530 attendees showing their support for the Foundation Fighting Blindness (FFB). Comic Vision’s move to a new location was made possible because of the generous support of Dan Cooper and Royal LePage, this year’s venue sponsor. Dan Cooper and Royal LePage have been generous sponsors of Comic Vision Oakville with the Foundation Fighting Blindness since 2006. Headlining the event is funny man, Derek Edwards, who in addition to his successful and well received live performances all over North America, has appeared on “Just For Laughs” and is a winner of the prestigious Vail award at the Colorado Invitational Comedy Competition.
Comic Vision was co-founded by comedian and Oakville resident, Meg Soper, who also performs at the event, and Ann Morrison in 1999, after Ann’s son was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). RP is a degenerative eye disease that causes progressive vision loss with symptoms appearing during childhood.
All money raised by Comic Vision goes to support vision research through the Foundation Fighting Blindness. Comic Vision would like to extend a special thanks to all the volunteers, sponsors and the communities of Oakville and Burlington for making Comic Vision possible year after year.
Due to its great success, Comic Vision is held in a total of five cities across Canada, including Oakville, London, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver.

“I am proud that I can make a significant contribution to this very serious health issue,” says Dan Cooper. “There is nothing funny about blindness, but with comedy and the giving spirit of Oakville citizens we can make an impact in the fight against blindness. There is more to a community than homes, roads and shopping districts. The character of a town or city is defined by the number of caring and giving people in our midst. I’m proud that the Dan Cooper Team can be counted among our generous citizens by providing support for worthy organizations such as Comic Vision.”
