***RECORDING***

Today, an estimated 1.5 million Canadians identify as having sight loss, and an estimated 5.59 million more have an eye disease that could cause sight loss. How can you make your workplace more accessible and inclusive and ensure that people with sight loss receive appropriate and accessible legal services?
In collaboration with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), The Canadian Bar Association’s New Brunswick Branch has developed a Continuing Professional Development program for legal professionals across Atlantic Canada. 

We invite you to join us to gather valuable insights on:
      •  Identifying and addressing barriers that impact access to justice for people living 
         with sight loss.

      •  Understanding your legal and professional obligations to accommodate colleagues,               employees and clients who are blind or partially sighted.

       •  Achieving accessibility in the legal profession and justice system.
