The funds raised through the generosity of our donor community help fund the IWK’s areas of greatest need, including purchasing new and advanced medical equipment, funding leading-edge research, and upgrading care spaces and technology.
Our mission
- To change what it is to be blind through innovative programs and powerful advocacy that enable Canadians impacted by blindness to live the lives they choose.
Our Commitments
Increase understanding and dispel misconceptions
Lack of awareness about the realities of life with blindness and sight loss is the underlying barrier that creates most of the issues for the people we serve across all parts of their lives – issues from lack of employment opportunities to accessibility barriers to unequal education experiences to social exclusion.
Remove barriers and create safe journeys
People with sight loss continue to loudly voice that transportation barriers are among the greatest they face, whether they live in rural or urban environments.
Support parents and kids in and out of the classroom
Kids who are blind or have low vision aren’t receiving the classroom support they need to excel, while parents who are blind are often unable to participate in their children’s education, as assignments, report cards, and other critical communications aren’t provided in accessible formats. At the same time, parents report a distinct lack of awareness about sight loss among medical professionals, which leads to a lack of information, resources, and guidance.
