Description of service(s) | The main objectives of the CCB are to give people who are blind or vision impaired a voice in their own affairs (through the consumer advocacy movement) and to provide rehabilitation through peer support and social and recreational activities. The Objectives of the CCB are threefold: To promote the well-being of individuals who are blind or vision impaired through higher education, profitable employment and social association, and to create a closer relationship between blind and sighted friends. To organize a nation-wide organization of people who are blind and vision impaired and groups of blind persons throughout Canada. To promote measures for the conservation of sight and the prevention of blindness. The Saint John Chapter meets the first Thursday of each month from 6:30pm-8,30pm from September till June at the Millidgeville-North End Lions Den, 61 Elgin Street, Saint John, NB. |
