A Chat with Joan Kelley Walker and CNIB’s Angela Bonfanti

Award-winning philanthropist and humanitarian, Joan Kelley Walker, sits down with Angela Bonfanti, Senior Vice President, CNIB Foundation Programs for an intimate chat about COVID-19 and how it has impacted the sight loss community.

Joan has had a lifelong awareness of the challenges that people with sight loss experience as she has watched her mother, Rosaline, navigate a sighted world while being legally blind. Joan initially volunteered with the CNIB Foundation as an emcee for the CNIB Muskoka event in support of CNIB Lake Joe. Since then, she has become much more involved in supporting CNIB’s programs.
