About us
The Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) is a non-profit organization bringing together Canadians who are blind, deaf-blind, or living with vision loss through local community CCB chapters.Since 1944, we have worked to improve the quality of life for persons with vision loss through awareness, peer mentoring, socializing, sports, advocacy, health promotion, and illness prevention.
CCB’s community-based model offers programs to assist those living with vision loss and create awareness of vision issues to the public and government. Our chapters are located throughout Canada and each chapter’s members participate as volunteers in various peer support, sports and recreation, book clubs, and educational activities. Local chapters manage affairs to align with the objectives promoted by the National Canadian Council of the Blind.
As the largest membership-based organization for the blind in Canada, we are proud to be known as the Voice of the Blind.
