Did you know?A person with dark glasses on using a white cane. Another person is gently guiding them as they walk across a crosswalk with their hand on the person's elbow.The CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) is a great resource for anyone who has vision loss. They have a great program that pairs people who have vision loss with volunteers called Vision Mates. Vision Mates provide regular, one-to-one assistance and companionship for a person who is blind or partially sighted. Matches are made with someone who lives close to their home, school or work. Vision Mates visit once per week for a couple of hours to assist with tasks like reading, errands, going for walks, and socializing.  Activities that you do together are based on the needs and interests of the person who is blind or partially sighted. Being paired with a Vision Mate is as simple as reaching out to the Program Leader for your region. If you want to become a Vision Mate, fill out the form below.
