Virtual Program Offerings & COVID-19 Resources
CNIB Participant Agreement
CNIB strives to offer a safe, respectful, and open environment for all its participants, volunteers and employees.
Virtual Vision Mate Program
To combat the negative ramifications that isolation can have on Canadians with sight loss, the CNIB Foundation has adapted one of its core program offerings, the Vision Mate program, to engage volunteers to connect virtually with participants by phone or online, at least once a week.
COVID-19 Vaccine Disability Dashboard
The COVID-19 Vaccine disability dashboard is a resource that contains the amalgamated information for COVID-19 Vaccine eligibility across Canada.
CNIB urges provinces to ensure vaccination distribution strategies are accessible
As COVID-19 vaccination clinics roll out across the country, CNIB is publicly urging provincial governments and local public health units to ensure their vaccine distribution strategies are accessible to Canadians with sight loss.
COVID-19 Accessibility Recommendations
People living with sight loss often experience barriers that prevent them from participating fully in society. As restaurants, retail stores and municipalities begin to reopen and introduce new operating conditions and procedures to stop the spread of COVID-19, the CNIB Foundation is providing recommendations to help remove barriers and ensure that indoor and outdoor spaces are accessible for all.
