About the Project

Welcome to the Bowen Island Centre for the Blind and DeafBlind capital project. The goal of this project is to create a recreation, training and meeting Centre to house a ten-month intensive blindness/DeafBlindness skills training program from September to June and summer independence camps for blind and DeafBlind children, youth, adults, and their families during July and August. The Bowen Island Centre for the Blind and DeafBlind will address the need faced by many blind and DeafBlind Canadians for meaningful connection, independence, and peer support. Building on their combined industry experience and expanding on their current programs, Camp Bowen and the Pacific Training Centre for the Blind Society are coming together as the Canadian Organization of the Blind and DeafBlind. The teams are working hand in hand to make these valuable programs vibrant, sustainable, and effective.
