CNIB GTA Community Hub to Relocate; In-Person Programs Transitioning to Community Spaces
Main Content
Due to the redevelopment of the building leased by CNIB at 1525 Yonge Street, the CNIB GTA Community Hub will be relocating as of July 1, 2026.
We want to reassure our community that CNIB programs and services will continue without interruption.
Beginning June 1, all local in-person programming will be offered at alternative locations in the GTA, including at CNIB’s national office at 1929 Bayview Ave., as well as local community spaces like libraries and community centres and through the CNIB Mobile Hub.
CNIB remains committed to delivering programs and services across the GTA. We’re working toward finding a new location for the GTA Community Hub and will share more information when available. In the meantime, all in-person programs will continue at our national office and in community locations.
To learn more about or register for CNIB programs, including the CNIB Mobile Hub, please visit cnib.ca/event or call 1-800-563-2642.

To better support the delivery of CNIB programming and services across the Maritimes, CNIB’s office and SmartLife Centre at 342 Grafton Street in Charlottetown will be closing effective June 8, 2026.
We want to assure our community that although the physical office and SmartLife Centre location is closing, CNIB programming will continue to be offered through a hybrid delivery model that includes in-person programming and events at community locations, through the CNIB Mobile Hub, and alongside virtual programs.
