CNIB’s Inclusive Schools Program is designed to teach educators and students how to foster inclusion in the classroom for people who are blind or low vision. As part of the program, CNIB has developed free educational resources designed to increase an understanding of blindness, the importance of creating more accessible and inclusive schools, and how you can support people who are blind or partially sighted in your community. Request a presentation for your school and discover what’s possible when we support students to reach their full potential.

CNIB received many remarkable scholarship applications this year and awarded $142,000 in funding to people who are blind or partially sighted in recognition of their educational and professional aspirations and achievements.

Active in every province, CNIB Strategic Leadership Councils play a pivotal role in bringing The Way Forward to life in our communities. Together, we are fostering an understanding of blindness and dispelling misconceptions about people who are blind, partially sighted, or Deafblind; removing barriers to create safe, accessible door-to-door journeys for all; and giving parents and children the support they need to excel in and out of the classroom. 

This four-part video series is designed to provide people who are blind, partially sighted, or Deafblind with the knowledge and skills to effectively advocate in their communities. Whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned advocate, you’ll find tips for making a positive change for yourself and others.
