"SnoWay" Snow Removal Campaign
For people who are blind, Deafblind, or have low vision, navigating outdoor spaces can become difficult or impossible during the winter months due to environmental barriers caused by improper snow removal practices. As snow begins to blanket our streets and sidewalks, CNIB has launched a snow removal advocacy campaign to educate the public about the barriers snow and ice-covered sidewalks create and remind municipalities, businesses, snow removal contractors, and homeowners about their responsibility to clear snow and ice from paths of travel.
Get on board with accessible public transit
People who are blind or have low vision continue to loudly voice that transportation barriers are among the greatest they face, whether they live in rural or urban environments. Accessible public transit is critical for those who are blind or have low vision to fully and independently participate in their communities, since they are not eligible for a driver’s licence. However, inaccessible transportation systems and built environment barriers continue to put the community of people with sight loss in dangerous and stressful situations when travelling.
