A train pulls into an empty indoor station. The image is out of focus and blurry, suggesting that the train is in motion as it approaches its stop. The station has a curved ceiling with lights, and one person walks along the platform.

Advocating for safer, more accessible journeys

At CNIB, we believe that everyone should be able to depend on public transit to get to where they need to go, when they need to go – from the first kilometre to the last kilometre. Join us in championing safer, more accessible journeys. Because everyone should be able to rely on public transit to travel door-to-door, safely and independently. Watch our Public Service Announcement and visit cnib.ca/transit to learn more.

Transition Dog Boarder – CNIB Guide Dogs

Volunteers are a critical part of our guide dog program, and we’re always in need of volunteer puppy raisers and boarders.
