The Canadian Council of the Blind
Based on Belief and Ability, not disability, the Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) is a vibrant network of people with vision loss who are active in local Chapters across Canada. The National office is based out of Ottawa. The council is governed by its members. All members of the National Board of Directors are people with vision loss.

City of Peterborough
With the support of the City of Peterborough in suppling the Community Grant Project for small organizations, we have been able to receive a grant each year to help with our social activities.
Canadian National Institute of the Blind
With support from the CNIB we have developed a partnership within our peer groups where the CCB Peterborough Chapter offers additional peer support beyond the CNIB programs. The CNIB/VLR (Vision Loss Rehabilitation) are community based services that empower Canadians who are blind or partially sighted, not just to live independently - but to see beyond vision loss.
