CNIB Ambassador
Do you want to make a difference in the lives of individuals living with sight loss? Ambassadors are people who have a CNIB story to tell. They speak from the heart and from experience about the challenges and successes of living with vision loss, about including and accommodating people with vision loss, and about the difference CNIB makes in the lives of people who are blind or partially sighted.
Virtual Vision Mate
The Virtual Vision Mate program gives volunteers an opportunity to engage in friendly conversations with people who are blind or partially sighted. You can schedule your chats on a set day and time every week, or you can schedule week-to-week, whatever works for both of you.
