CNIB Mobile Hub Visits Parksville on March 29, 2023

CNIB is hitting the road to bring our innovative programs to life in your community!

Meet the CNIB Mobile Hub – a new program delivery model where we visit your community to deliver in-person programming at no cost to you.

We’d love for you to join us when we visit Parksville on Wednesday, March 29 at the Parksville Community Centre.

At the CNIB Mobile Hub, you can participate in recreational and social activities, hands-on technology training, and more. You’ll also have access to the latest breakthroughs in assistive technologies, as well as tried-and-true favourites from CNIB SmartLife, all available for purchase by credit card or debit card. Our free programs are designed to educate, entertain and engage community members who are blind or partially sighted as well as their families, friends, and caregivers.

We kindly ask participants to register for programs at least one business day before the start date. To register over the phone, please call 1-800-563-264
