Bruno Thériault (November 25, 1917 in Grande-Anse, New Brunswick - May 14, 2005 in Moncton, New Brunswick)[1] was a blind piano tuner[2] and former regional administrator for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.[3] He is primarily notable for having persuaded the Government of Canada to incorporate raised numbers into the designs for Canadian paper money, as well as for having been the oldest active piano tuner in Canada (he tuned pianos until a month before his death).[citation needed]
