Guide dog access to public places and services

CNIB Guide Dogs is committed to advocating with guide dog users to increase public awareness and breakdown of physical and attitudinal barriers. To aid in this, we have created a series of Tip Sheets.

Volunteer with CNIB Guide Dogs

Do you love dogs? Could you see yourself welcoming a future guide dog puppy into your life? Do you have time during your day to introduce a pup to the world around them and help them take their first steps toward becoming a future guide dog? CNIB Guide Dogs is growing our team of volunteer Puppy Raisers and Boarders.

Recevoir un iPhone : briser l'isolement et gagner de l'autonomie

Lors de sa soirée VIP TechnoVision, la Fondation INCA a remis à Mme Sylain un iPhone pour lui permettre de faciliter ses activités quotidiennes. Quelques semaines à peine après l'avoir reçu, son nouveau téléphone lui permet d'écrire des messages et des textes beaucoup plus facilement, de s'informer sur les conditions météorologiques, de faire sa liste d'épicerie et surtout de communiquer avec son entourage. Avant, elle se sentait plus isolée, surtout qu'elle vit dans une région éloignée.

The Strength of the Group

"The groups have a major impact. Some people have lost a sense of hope and taking part in a support group rekindles their flame," says Pascal, who also benefitted from support groups in the past.

Meet Darlene
