CNIB is thrilled to announce our new partnership with Be My Eyes, as the first Canadian organization to offer "Be My Eyes for Work" for CNIB staff and volunteers.

"Be My Eyes for Work" is an internal facing platform that will offer employees and volunteers access to a closed network of sighted colleagues, for easy access to visual assistance with work-related tasks.

In addition to this, CNIB Frontier Accessibility is now a distributor of “Be My Eyes for Work” and “Specialized Help” across Canada – with the goal of supporting organizations champion a culture of accessibility and inclusion.

"Specialized Help" connects users directly with Be My Eyes Support Specialists who have signed confidentiality agreements and received specialized training to help with personal matters, navigation and wayfinding.

Science is full of brilliant minds and unique perspectives. But what happens when some minds are valued more than others? To watch the trailer and purchase tickets, check out the link in our bio.
