"SnoWay" Snow Removal Campaign
For people who are blind, Deafblind, or have low vision, navigating outdoor spaces can become difficult or impossible during the winter months due to environmental barriers caused by improper snow removal practices. As snow begins to blanket our streets and sidewalks, CNIB has launched a snow removal advocacy campaign to educate the public about the barriers snow and ice-covered sidewalks create and remind municipalities, businesses, snow removal contractors, and homeowners about their responsibility to clear snow and ice from paths of travel.
