The Canadian National Institute for the Blind L'Institut national Canadien pour les aveugles

The Canadian National Institute for the Blind provides employment support, rehabilitation services, and advocacy for people who are blind or living with vision loss across Canada. The organization operates job training programs, skills development workshops, and placement services to help clients find and maintain employment. It also delivers orientation and mobility training, assistive technology instruction, and counseling services. The institute maintains resource centres in Toronto and other cities where individuals can access information about low-vision aids, learn adaptive techniques, and connect with peer support networks. Beyond direct services, the organization conducts research on vision loss, develops public awareness campaigns about blindness and sight-saving prevention, and advocates for policy changes to improve accessibility and inclusion for people with visual disabilities.
