CNIB Ontario GTA Leadership
Angela Bonfanti, CNIB Ontario GTA Executive Director
Angela Bonfanti is the Executive Director for the CNIB Ontario Foundation in the Greater Toronto Area, as well as the Head of National Government Relations for CNIB. Angela first walked through the doors of CNIB as a child, accompanying her father who has been blind most of his life. She joined our staff after nearly a decade of working for the federal government as a political staffer with the Liberals. She started her career at CNIB as the National Director for Stewardship and Donor Engagement before she was seconded to assist with the development and implementation of CNIB’s strategic plan – The Path to Change. Angela led a number of efforts which helped CNIB to achieve key milestones in the strategic plan, including the development and endorsement of the Canadian Patient Charter for Vision Care and the Comprehensive Vision Rehabilitation Model of Care. Most recently, Angela was the National Director of CNIB’s newly developed Strategic Relations and Engagement department and helped to lead CNIB’s first country-wide federal election strategy which has led to significant movement in a number of federal initiatives. In her new role, the Charity will benefit from Angela’s extensive professional and personal experience in campaign volunteering and management. Her understanding of government will also be tapped as we advocate for changes from the City of Toronto and the provincial government.
