We're Moving!

To help us achieve our strategic ambitions to serve you better, the CNIB Foundation and Vision Loss Rehabilitation Ontario teams, including CNIB Eye Van and CNIB Lake Joe staff based in Sudbury, are moving from 303 York Street, Sudbury to 1545 Regent St. South. 

The new CNIB Sudbury Hub, located at 1545 Regent Street South, Unit #104, will open to the general public Monday, July 22, 2019.  

The Sudbury Hub will be visible and accessible, a welcoming place where people meet, connect and interact; a space to engage the community and inspire visitors to help us change what it is to be blind today.

Please note: CNIB Sudbury phone landlines and fax lines will be down from Thursday, July 11 until Monday, July 15 at noon. If you have an urgent request, please call the CNIB Foundation at 1-800-563-2642 or Vision Loss Rehabilitation Ontario at 1-844-887-8572.

We are working hard to create a wonderful new home and will provide you with more information (including dates for an official grand opening celebration) in the near future. Stay tuned!

Today, 23 new partnerships, including 15 guide dogs, seven buddy dogs, and one ambassador dog, formally graduated as part of the CNIB Guide Dogs Class of 2024.

As part of the celebration, viewing parties of the graduation ceremony were held in communities across Canada. For many graduates, these events signified not only the end of months of anticipation and formal training – but also a tribute to all the individuals who supported each dog in their journey, making these partnerships possible.
April 17, 2024 – Yesterday, the Government of Canada released Budget 2024 and announced that the long-awaited Canada Disability Benefit will start in July 2025, pending a regulatory design process. The benefit will be funded with $6.1 billion over the next six years. 

This investment equates to a proposed maximum of $200 per month for eligible recipients who qualify for the Disability Tax Credit. Further, Budget 2024 does not invest in a strategy or programs that enable people who are blind or have low vision to join the workforce. 

While the passage of the Canada Disability Benefit Act was an important first step, CNIB joins the growing list of organizations and advocates calling on the government to commit to more support to lift people with disabilities out of poverty.
