At CNIB, we are committed to changing what it is to be blind for Indigenous Peoples through collaboration and engagement with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities across the country. 

We have created these resources to support community members when engaging in advocacy in their local communities, whether as a formal CNIB Community Engagement Volunteer, a person living with sight loss, or an ally who wants to help bring about change. 

In this ongoing money series, CNIB National Youth Council Member, Danica Frappier, and Scheherazade Hasan from the Wealthsimple Foundation, examine banking fundamentals and accounts, financial support available to people pursuing post-secondary education in Canada, and more. 

CNIB Lake Joe is pleased to offer unique opportunities for guests from near and far (in person and virtually) to explore the magic of CNIB Lake Joe for themselves. Take a look at the ways we've welcomed everyone in our "camp community" to explore CNIB Lake Joe and contribute to a cause that changes the lives of people with sight loss.

Due to the tireless advocacy of people who are blind or partially sighted over the years, most provinces have formally recognized the cane as a symbol of sight loss. Learn more about the legislation where you live.

We invite all CNIB Lake Joe staff and volunteers – past and present – to join the CNIB Lake Joe Alumni. Since our doors opened in 1961, each of you has made a real difference in the lives of people impacted by sight loss. Help us continue this great work with your fellow camp colleagues and friends.
