Deafblind Network Ontario (DBNO) is a passionate group made up of individuals, organizations and service providers who work together for the improvement of services for Ontarians who are deafblind. The DBNO is committed to ensuring that all Ontarians who are deafblind have equal access to high-quality Intervenor Services.

The DBNO hosts Ontario’s single point of access to Intervenor Services for individuals who are deafblind. The DBNO is working in partnership with the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services (MCCSS) to build a new framework.

The DBNO is currently planning the Deafblind International Conference that will take place in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 2023. The DBNO also promotes awareness of the disability of deafblindness by participating in the National Deafblind Awareness Month initiative.
