The Quebec justice system has several shortcomings in terms of accessibility. In fact, legal documentation is not easily accessible for people living with a visual limitation. Did you know that?
Did you also know that people who are blind are frequently confronted with discriminatory situations where their rights are violated or they are not treated equally?
Thanks to the financial support of the Fonds d'études notariales of the Chambre des notaires du Québec, CNIB is able to offer training for legal professionals. During these training sessions, you will learn more about CNIB, thee barriers faced by people who are blind, and you will be equipped to better help them when their rights are violated.
