Out of respect, the Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) office will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th for Remembrance Day. We encourage you all to take the time to listen, learn and share resources. Being an organisation founded by blinded war veterans, we ask that you reflect on the sacrifices they and many other service persons have made. As an organisation, we believe freedom is a continuous effort. There are still many changes that need to be made in our communities t...o extend the opportunity of freedom to others. As we do our part in working towards a brighter future, the CCB is committed to never forgetting the brave work done by those before us. #lestweforget #Accessibility [Photo Description: A field of poppies on a sunny day.]
