<\/p>\n

This conference presented the 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The conference took 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.<\/p>\n
