INCA prend la route avec son Mobile hub, pour offrir plus de soutien en région
Pour nous assurer que vous bénéficiez de tout ce dont vous avez besoin, nous avons décidé de sortir pour venir à votre rencontre dans votre région, afin de vous faire découvrir tous nos services et vous en offrir davantage d'occasions d'entrer en contact avec d'autres personnes qui vivent une situation similaire à la vôtre.
Le Hub mobile d'INCA s'installera dans un espace local où nous offrirons un éventail de programmes gratuits en personne aux personnes aveugles ou ayant une vision partielle, ainsi qu'à leurs familles, amis et aidants.
Volunteer Opportunities
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.

Make a difference for people who are blind or partially sighted by providing sighted assistance and companionship to a person in your community who is blind or partially sighted.
