Canada was first represented in international competition for the visually impaired by brothers Pier Morten and Eddie Morten at the 1988 Paralympics, where they each won bronze in the -65 kg and -71 kg categories, respectively. Pier, who is the first deaf-blind person in the world to earn a black belt in judo and was inducted into the Judo Canada Hall of Fame in 2012, also won bronze in the -71 kg category in 1992 and the -73 kg category in 2000 at the Paralympics, making him Canada's most successful visually impaired judoka. Priscilla Gagné won silver in the -52 kg category at the 2020 Paralympics. William Morgan placed fifth in the 2004 and seventh in the 2008 Paralympics, where he was Canada's only competitor. Tom Thompson coached the Paralympic judo team from 2000 to 2014, when he was replaced by Andrzej Sądej. A video of Morgan explaining Paralympic judo is available in the 'External links' section below.
