Supporting blind, deafblind, and partially sighted Canadians through peer support, education, and advocacy.
Advocacy is at the heart of what we do. We believe in the power of collective voices coming together to bring about change--making life better for those who are blind, partially sighted, or deafblind. Our dedicated members ensure that the concerns of the vision impaired community are heard and addressed at all levels of society and government, from federal to provincial and municipal.
AEBC keeps a watchful "eye" on the social effects of establishments and their impact on the lives of the blind. We respond, advocate, and make sure that no one is left behind. Our mission is to ensure that blind, partially sighted, and deafblind Canadians have equal access to goods, programs, services, and education. We even run an annual scholarship program to support post-secondary students in pursuit of their dreams.
Additionally, AEBC offers more than just advocacy; we are a supportive community that connects people with similar life experiences. We provide peer support within and outside the organization, helping members become more technologically literate. Our focus is on full participation, making sure that everyone has access to inclusive and accessible products and services. We engage with governments, private companies, and sector representatives to ensure that the rights of blind Canadians are taken into consideration during the development of any services or legislation.
We hope you will consider supporting us. Please visit our website to learn more about us.
