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.

Paws en route is a full-service transportation company specializing in ground and air transportation for service dogs and pets, designed to ensure stress-free transport of pets and service animals, including ground and air travel.

Guide dogs and their handlers are allowed access to any premises to which the public would normally have access. It’s the law. Show your support for guide dog teams in your community and become a Guide Dog Champion!

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.

Tech Mates provide one-on-one and group support to people with sight loss learning how to use their smart devices. Training will be provided to the volunteer by CNIB in terms of best practices for assisting someone with sight loss and on the use of some sight loss specific functions and apps; however much of what Tech Mates help with is relatively simple (setting up emails, basic computer skills, etc.)

With the introduction e-scooter pilot projects becoming more common across the country, CNIB is concerned about how the deployment of e-scooters is impacting people who are blind or partially sighted.
