After holding focus groups in Newfoundland and Labrador, CNIB created this legal information handbook to provide helpful responses to some of the most common questions we heard.
In the handbook below, you’ll find:
- An overview of your most important legal rights related to government and consumer services.
- Answers to common questions like
- "When attempting to vote, I’ve been advised by poll workers that they are not aware of any available accommodations that can assist me with voting independently. What can I do?"
- "Before serving me, an employee or business owner asked me to show them official identification for my guide dog. Is this allowed?"
- Links to helpful legal services and community supports
The Know Your Rights legal Information handbooks are available in two different formats:
