Welcome to the CNIB Centre!

The CNIB Centre, where simple and elegant design meets accessibility.

The CNIB Centre is a sleek and modern five-storey structure overlooking Bayview Avenue in midtown Toronto. It is widely acknowledged as a groundbreaking model of universal design. In imagining the 140,000-square foot space, attention was given to how it could be experienced with all the senses. It is a building where all are welcome - a fitting home for CNIB’s centre of operations in Canada.

Whether you are planning a meeting, conference, reception or social event, the CNIB Centre offers you accessibility, elegant rooms, superb service and an experienced conference planner.
