The Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians (AEBC) is a national charitable organization of primarily blind, Deafblind, or partially sighted members. 

AEBC empowers blind, Deafblind, and partially sighted Canadians to drive change, influence systems, and live with dignity—by combining lived experience with focused advocacy and peer leadership.

A society where every person who is blind, Deafblind, or partially sighted has equal access, equal voice, and equal opportunity—at home, at work, and in their community.

1. Lived Experience First – We lead with the voices and realities of our members.

2. Respectful Independence – We collaborate without compromising our integrity.

3. Inclusion with Accountability – We serve all members, even when needs differ.

4. Empowerment – We equip our members to advocate for themselves and others.

5. Equity – We work to remove systemic barriers, not just adjust to them.

6. Learning Together – Whether it’s tech or advocacy, we teach and support each other.

AEBC is a leader in leveling the playing field for our community. Since 1992, our dedicated volunteers have participated in working groups and committees at the national, provincial, and municipal levels. We advocate for accessibility, equality, and the elimination of barriers in how government, organizations and businesses deliver products, programs, and services across Canada. 

Additionally, AEBC offers more than just advocacy--we are a supportive community that connects people with similar life experiences. We provide peer support within and outside the organization, helping members become more technologically literate. Our focus is on full participation, making sure that blind Canadians have access to inclusive and accessible products and services.
