Enhancing quality of life through vision
Our "Seeing is Belonging" program
For over 50 years the University of Waterloo School of Optometry & Vision Science has been working to enhance quality of life for our community through their vision. With the knowledge that 80% of all blindness is preventable, the School makes it a priority to bring awareness to the importance of safeguarding their vision and addressing eye care needs. The Kitchener-Waterloo Community Foundation recognizes how important this is and has generously supported the School’s Seeing is Belonging program, which provides essential vision care and resources to identified at-risk groups within our community.

University of Waterloo Association for Guide Dogs
2018 was a year of transitions for the University of Waterloo Association for Guide Dogs (UWAGD) - formerly known as the Lions Club, we have a new name but the same mission: to raise money to purchase a guide dog for someone in need! By changing our name, we were able to expand our membership and open up our club to more students who want to participate, which we hope will translate into reaching our goal faster and being able to provide more for those in need in the community.
