Help us break down barriers
To build a truly inclusive society where individuals with sight loss can access unlimited opportunities, we must speak up and dismantle the barriers that remain. Join us in our public awareness campaigns and advocacy efforts aimed at increasing understanding and reducing stigma in the health care and education sectors.
Advocacy Campaigns
By learning about the issues and joining our advocacy campaigns, you can help make tangible change in your community.
Advocacy Programs
Become an advocate! When facing barriers to inclusion, knowing how to advocate effectively for yourself and others is key. Join us and learn how to advocate to support causes that matter to you.
Advocacy Resources
CNIB has created resources to support community members when engaging in advocacy in their local communities, whether as a formal CNIB Community Engagement Volunteer, a person living with sight loss, or an ally who wants to help bring about change.
One to One Advocacy Support
If you need help addressing an accessibility barrier or need individual advocacy support, our team may be able to help! CNIB advocacy support services are here to give you the tools and resources you need to take action and confidently advocate for yourself.
Know Your Rights
Through the creation of plain language legal information handbooks and resources, Know Your Rights aims to empower people who are blind, partially sighted or Deafblind to better understand their rights, navigate provincial legal systems and self-advocate to challenge discrimination.
CNIB Legal Support
To help provide greater access to justice, we are now offering legal support (referral services and litigation funding) to Canadians who encounter legal issues they may require support with as part of the CNIB Advocacy program.
