At CNIB Guide Dogs, we offer support for guide dog handlers across Canada, regardless of where their guide dog was trained. Through education and awareness, we are committed to ensuring social attitudes shift to universal acceptance and appreciation for guide dogs. We have many advocacy resources available, including a Guide Dog Handler Advocacy Toolkit and CNIB’s standard advocacy letter.

People with sight loss often say having a guide dog is a transformational experience. Being part of a guide dog team provides mobility, safety and confidence, leading to increased independence and a sense of connection with the world. We believe everyone who would like to have a guide dog should have that opportunity.

Every year, more than 50,000 Canadians lose their sight. When you sponsor a CNIB “puppy with purpose,” you're giving a life-changing gift: freedom, independence and safety for a Canadian with sight loss.

Laughter, fun, empowering activities – essential ingredients for the perfect camp experience. Do you want to be part of the fantastic CNIB Lake Joe 2024 staff team that helps make it all possible?

“Marion licked my face as soon as she met me," says Tracy. "I just knew that she was going to be a great fit – she has a kind, gentle soul.”
