This conference will present results from the newly-released Report Card Part 2, undertaken by the Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) and Fighting Blindness Canada (FBC), which is a follow-up to the Report Card Part 1, released in October 2022.

The report provides an update on the current state of vision health in Canada and what we can anticipate as we move forward from the post-pandemic era. The report offers insights into the key issues affecting vision health and the community of people living with vision loss.

The conference will take place both online and in person at Epic Hall and Prologue venues at the Toronto Reference Library at 789 Yonge St., Toronto, Ont., M4W 2G8.

Continental breakfast will be served from 9:15 am (EDT) Eastern Daylight Time, and a light lunch will be served.
