Eid Mubarak! ! Wishing you all a very happy and peaceful Eid Al-Fitr.

One eye healthy food that's often overlooked is the humble pear. Pears are rich in folate, vitamin C, copper, and potassium. Add them to oatmeal, salads, and smoothies or try out our easy mocktail recipe. (Just be sure to eat the peels!) Pear & Rosemary Fizz... 1 tablespoon of rosemary syrup* Equal parts ginger beer and pear juice Garnish with rosemary and sliced pears * For the rosemary syrup: add equal parts sugar and water in a pot with a few sprigs of rosemary. Simmer on medium heat until the sugar has fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let the rosemary infuse until the mixture is cooled.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there near or far!

If you don't have a colour deficiency it can be hard to imagine what it looks like to be colour blind.

At just four-yearsold, Molly Burke’s world became a little bit darker: she was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare retinal disease causing loss of vision. Despite this, and the ensuing obstacles and hardships she faced, it wasn’t long before she began bringing light into the lives of others. Now she's partnered with Allure where she shares her personal opinions on universal design and the accessibility of different beauty products for blind folks. #visionhealthaware...nessmonth #retinitispigmentosa via @mollyburkeofficial

The process of becoming a guide dog begins before birth, with animals that are bred to have the physical and behavioural traits that make them best for the work. #WhiteCaneWeek It's a team effort involving volunteers, trained staff and guide dog users: 0-8 weeks old: Puppies spend their earliest days with their mother and siblings... 8 weeks-4 months: Puppies are placed with carefully selected volunteer puppy raisers. Supported by CNIB Guide Dogs staff, they play a pivotal role in raising and socializing the puppy to become a guide dog. This is the time puppies learn basic skills, obedience commands and feeding routines 4-15 months: Puppies continue to live with their volunteer puppy raisers, who will help them to learn to move around safely and negotiate stairs, while exposing them to as many different environments as possible. The puppy's confidence grows. 12-17 months: Training starts in earnest as the dog begins to work with a professionally qualified guide dog trainer or guide dog mobility instructor being introduced to the harness and the basics of the guiding role, including working safely with a handler. Regular evaluation will ensure the dog is progressing properly Around 18 months: The guide dog trainer or guide dog mobility instructor starts the most critical part of the job: matching the dog to its guide dog handler ensuring a pairing of the dog's personality and physical attributes and the guide dog handler’s needs The final step: The guide dog meets their new best friend and handler, changing the life of a blind or partially sighted Canadian forever.
