In February, a wonderful thing happened at CNIB Guide Dogs – we welcomed five beautiful puppies into the world!
Born in Ontario, Angus, Jedda, Makali, Hera, and Ella are the first litter of pups from the CNIB Guide Dogs breeding program.
Riley (mom) is a CNIB Guide Dog, and Eski (dad) is from Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Their highly anticipated arrival is a significant step in the expansion of CNIB’s Guide Dogs program. We're excited to mark this important milestone and celebrate the birth of a healthy litter of CNIB Guide Dogs pups.
CNIB Guide Dogs has expanded its puppy program to the Ottawa/Carleton Place area and is in need of caring individuals to become volunteer puppy raisers for future guide dogs in the region. Previous experience with dogs is not required. If you’re eager to learn, CNIB Guide Dogs will provide you with support and training so you can feel confident in your volunteer role.
The TTC has extended the expiration date for TTC CNIB cards used by eligible CNIB clients when travelling on the system.

To activate the new expiration date, simply tap your TTC CNIB card on a PRESTO card reader on a fare gate, bus, streetcar or Wheel-Trans vehicle anytime between January 22, 2024 and April 20, 2024.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) went on strike this morning, Friday, November 15. CNIB is working to minimize the impact the strike will have on Canadians who are blind, Deafblind, or who have low vision, particularly as it relates to the delivery of alternative-format materials provided through our partners at CELA (Centre for Equitable Library Access).
The CNIB community is deeply saddened by the passing of Delores Beck, one of our most generous donors and a true champion of CNIB Guide Dogs. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.
