Eddie Morten (born 29 May 1962), also spelled 'Eddy', is a Canadian Paralympic athlete who won bronze in the 5 km Walk in 1980, gold in the -65 kg category in Wrestling in 1984, and bronze in Judo in the -71 kg category in Judo in 1988.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.paralympic.ca/en/detail/37270.html?id=37561&profileid=37561&view=detail )〕 Morten has been the Coordinator of the Deafblind Services Society of British Columbia's Volunteer Intervention Program since 2007, and in 2009 was awarded the Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing's Award of Merit for his advocacy on behalf of the deaf-blind community.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.deafblindservices.com/deafblindservices/board.php )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.widhh.com/about/recognition_widhh.php?year=2009 )〕 He is the younger brother of Pier Morten, another successful Canadian Paralympian. Morten was born deaf but with good vision, which has gradually deteriorated due to Usher Syndrome. He is now completely blind in his left eye and has severely limited vision in his right eye. ==Human Rights Tribunal== In August 2004, Morten asked his travel agent to book him a flight from Vancouver, British Columbia to San Francisco, California, but was told that the airline, Air Canada, would not allow him to fly without an attendant because he is deaf and partially blind. Morten filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission in September 2005, alleging that Air Canada had discriminated against him because of his disability. In January 2009, the Tribunal ruled that Air Canada had discriminated against Morten and ordered the airline to pay him $10,000 plus interest for pain and suffering.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://chrt-tcdp.gc.ca/aspinc/search/vhtml-eng.asp?doid=955&lg=_e&isruling=0 )〕 The full Tribunal Decision document is available in the 'External links' section below.
