At CNIB Connects, we're dedicated to providing more than just deals and discounts.
We’re focused on creating unique opportunities that enhance the lives of Canadians with sight loss. We believe in fostering understanding, dispelling misconceptions, and removing barriers to create a more inclusive society for all.
Bridging the accessibility gap with Canadian businesses and ensuring equal access to information, products, and services is a key part of the CNIB Connects program mandate.
While we can't make every business in Canada fully accessible overnight, every CNIB Connects partner has made a commitment to improving the accessibility of their offerings.
As part of their accessibility journey, CNIB Access Labs will provide a free 45-minute consultation, valued at $275, with David Demers, Managing Director, CNIB Access Labs.
Partners aren’t required to engage CNIB Access Labs to provide accessibility solution.
Your voice matters. Share your feedback today.
CNIB Connects members will also have an opportunity to share feedback about their accessible and inaccessible customer experiences. This could be feedback about overall content accessibility, website accessibility, or the accessibility of goods and services, including documents, services, and facilities.
Sharing your experience will help our partners identify and remove barriers and respond to concerns to improve the accessibility of their products and services to help serve you better. CNIB will regularly share collected feedback with CNIB Connects partners to enhance the customer experience and show them how well they are meeting their customers' needs.
How does the program work?
Enrolled members enjoy a range of benefits, including discounts on products and services, access to exclusive content and experiences, and one free white cane and tip per calendar year through CNIB’s White Cane Access Program.
To take advantage of offers from our CNIB Connects partners, simply use your unique promotional code at checkout or provide your CNIB Connects membership ID number to partner vendors to complete transactions.
CNIB Connects vs. the CNIB Card
The CNIB Connects program is separate from the CNIB card. How do they differ? The CNIB card is only available to Canadians who meet the requirements for legal blindness. It can be used as proof of disability for some government programs and tax benefits. It may also entitle you to some concessions from governments and community agencies or organizations. You do not need to be a CNIB Connects Member to access the CNIB card.
*Currently, the White Cane Access program is undergoing a pilot phase, gradually expanding across Canada. As of right now, this initiative is exclusively available to CNIB Connects members residing in British Columbia. Ongoing updates will be provided as this initiative is extended to other provinces and territories.
