Know Your Rights
Through the Know Your Rights project, CNIB has developed plain language legal information and resources (fact sheets, videos, training, etc.) 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.
Know Your Rights is available in eight provinces including Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia. CNIB continues to seek opportunities to advance this vital work in other provinces and territories
