Yearly events
Every year, the CCB Toronto Visionaries presents a few big events, like our Spring concert, our Walk-a-thon and Beach BBQ, our bus trip, and the WCW Experience Expo. We also offer many smaller activities throughout the year, including local historical tours, described walks, meals out at local restaurants, our regular monthly meetings, and much more!
Some of our recent big events include:
- White Cane Week Experience Expo (2018 & 2017), and our Recreation & Leisure Expo (2016).
- Bus trips out of Toronto to: Stratford Festival (2017), Creekside Estates Winery and Niagara-on-the-Lake (2016), St. Jacobs Farmer's Market and Apple Picking (2015), and Niagara Falls (2014).
- Live music concerts: the Lucas Haneman Express Blues Band (2018), the Jack Gelbloom Quartet performing "The Dawn of Music" (2017), "Growing Up Television" (2016), and "The History of Jazz" (2015).
