We’re revamping some of the content included in the Guide Dog Gazette, and we want you to be a part of it! We're looking for new contributors to help make the Guide Dog Gazette more community focused. 

Share your voice and perspectives by becoming a contributor! We invite you to submit content that fits into the following categories:

  • Compelling personal stories, observations, commentaries, and chronicles about your experiences with your CNIB Guide Dog, Buddy Dog, Ambassador Dog, or puppy in training. Maybe you have a funny anecdote or new travel tale you'd like to share – or perhaps you've written a poem about your dog. We're open to ideas!
  • We also want to hear from the friends and family members of individuals who have been matched with guide dogs, buddy dogs, ambassador dogs or are raising a puppy in training. 
  • Resources for guide dog handlers, including practical advice and tips. 
  • Advocacy updates or initiatives.
  • General news items, announcements, etc.

Submission guidelines:

  • Content should include a title and be submitted in Word format.
  • Content should include the contributor's name, contact information and your title and affiliation, where applicable. 
  • Where possible, photos should be included with your submission with accompanying alt-text. Please do not embed images in a Word document. Add them as attachments instead.
  • Content should be conversational and 250-400 words. 
  • CNIB reserves the right to edit content for clarity, and brevity, where necessary. 

How to submit:

  • Contributors should email their submissions to gdgazette@cnib.ca. Questions should be directed to the same email address. 
  • While we welcome and appreciate all contributions, not all submissions will be published. We may also use submitted content in future issues of the Guide Dog Gazette. 

We look forward to reading your submissions!
