Blindness Awareness Month was established for every October to help people understand the lived experiences of those who are blind and low vision. Blindness Awareness Month offers a valuable opportunity for both individuals and organizations to come together and raise awareness about visual impairment, foster inclusivity, and show support for the blind and visually impaired community.
To help spread awareness and learning about blindness, we have compiled a collection of content below, including episodes of our Limitless Podcast and Limitless Blog that would be great ways to learn more about blindness and hear about the lived experiences of those who experience blindness and low vision on a daily basis.
Blind Beginnings Society has worked tirelessly since its inception in 2008 to inspire and support children and youth in BC who are blind and low vision.
Through participation in independence and confidence building workshops, recreational activities, leadership programs, and summer camps, children and youth develop the skills and confidence to challenge their personal limits and create fulfilling lives.
Limitless potential is all we see.
