Know Your Rights

Through the Know Your Rights project, CNIB has developed plain language legal information and resources (fact sheets, videos, training, etc.) to empower people who are  blind, Deafblind, or have low vision to better understand their rights, navigate provincial legal systems and self-advocate to challenge discrimination. 

Know Your Rights is available in eight provinces including Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador. CNIB continues to seek opportunities to advance this vital work in other provinces and territories
