(CNW) The Canadian National Institute for the Blind, one of Canada's largest and most recognized charities, will now be known simply as the CNIB. This new identity reflects the fact 90 percent of its clients have partial vision.
CNIB has evolved into the primary provider of vision loss
support programs and services in Canada, funding research into
the prevention of eye disease, investing in public education
related to eye health and safety, consulting on issues related
to public way-finding and accessibility, working with
governments on policies related to equality, and providing
support services to individuals experiencing vision loss.
