Become a member
It only costs $10 annually to become a member of the Canadian Council of the Blind.
The CCB is Canada’s largest consumer group for blind and vision-impaired people. To do our important advocacy work to the government, business, and other organizations on behalf of this vision-impaired community, it is essential to demonstrate an extensive, stable membership list. We welcome both sighted and vision-impaired individuals to become members of our community. Join us as a new or renewed member to lend your name as Canada’s voice of the blind.
