CNIB Mobile Hub to bring accessible programs to Kindersley
By Kate Winquist
The Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) is bringing its Mobile Hub to Kindersley this spring, offering a day of free, in-person programming for people who are blind, partially sighted or Deafblind, as well as their families, friends and caregivers.
The CNIB Mobile Hub will be set up at the Norman Ritchie Community Centre on Friday, March 13, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The initiative is part of CNIB’s effort to deliver accessible services and supports directly to communities across the region.
The Mobile Hub will offer a wide range of programs, including accessible technology support, advocacy resources, child and youth programming, recreational activities and peer support groups. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with CNIB staff and learn more about available services in a welcoming, community-based setting.
The event will also feature demonstrations of CNIB SmartLife products. Attendees will have hands-on access to the latest advancements in accessible technology and will be able to place orders on site with no shipping fees.
All programs offered through the CNIB Mobile Hub are free of charge.
