Media Advisory/Photo Op - CNIB hosts Eye Believe flash mob in Nathan Phillips Square
TORONTO, March 29, 2017 /CNW/ - As CNIB kicks off its 100th year, you're invited to join us for Eye Believe, a fun event in downtown Toronto celebrating the accomplishments of people who are blind or partially sighted. We will be setting the world record for the largest formation of a human eye image. Photographers will have an opportunity to capture an aerial view from Toronto City Hall.
Eye Believe is an example of how we work together every day to improve the lives of people with sight loss. This is the official start to CNIB's year-long centennial celebration program, filled with events, activities and storytelling focused on the people – past and present – who have changed what it is to be blind in Canada.
