CNIB is hitting the road to bring our innovative programs to life in your community! Meet the CNIB Mobile Hub – a new program delivery model where we visit your community to deliver in-person programming at no cost to you.
We’d love for you to join us when we visit Brantford, Ontario at the Brantford Public Library (173 Colborne Street, Brantford) on Thursday, May 30 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
