Nova Scotia

Provide one-on-one sighted assistance and social engagement to a person with vision loss ; this could be done in-person (in their home or community), over the phone, or while delivering groceries. Here, we provide a list of people hoping for a match in communities throughout Nova Scotia.

We are grateful to our donors, who make it possible for us to do our life-changing work.

The CNIB Unbound Facebook group is a place where members can meet, get to know each other and talk about all things books!

Darlene MacMillan volunteers as a vision mate for the CNIB Foundation with Stacie, a Moncton resident who has sight loss. The pair go on walks two to three times a week – even walking an indoor track during the winter months. They set fitness goals and work toward them together.

We're always looking for volunteers to assist at CNIB Lake Joe in bringing the magic of camp to life for people with sight loss! We promise you'll have an enriching experience at camp, full of laughter, fun and awesome activities.
