This brief overview tells our story. It looks back to where we have been and points to where we plan to be over the next five years. Our plan focuses our ambitions to ensure that our clients are full participants in the Information Age and are actively engaged in the Smart Communities of the future. We strive for excellence in the development of user-centred and accessible information services. Our mission is to continuously expand learning opportunities through a network of local, provincial, national, and international resources to support the advancement of Canadians who are blind, visually impaired, or deafblind.
Growth presents unique challenges in accommodating new demands for service and volume.

They want to be treated the same as everyone else.
