In this case, the new separated bike lanes and floating bus stops are in Victoria, BC, but there\u2019s interest in them across North America, so this design could potentially set a precedent. We have obtained legal representation and filed a human rights challenge, but we need your support to help cover legal costs since CFB is a not-for-profit, entirely volunteer organization. We understand how tight money can be in our blindness community, but in this case, even a few dollars will make a difference, providing enough of us take action. Please find our GoFundMe link below.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Before you do, here\u2019s a couple of things to note:<br \/>\n1. The GoFundMe fundraising website automatically suggests a 15 percent tip to be added to a given donation. On older computer systems this custom options box may be inaccessible. The GoFundMe suggested tip, which goes to them and not to our campaign, can be adjusted to a lower or zero amount if you\u00a0 are able to interact with the custom options box. Or, please feel free to email your contribution directly to\u00a0<\/span><\/span><a href=\"mailto:treasurer@cfb.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">treasurer@cfb.ca<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0or use Paypal at\u00a0<\/span><\/span><a href=\"mailto:donation@cfb.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">donation@cfb.ca<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0(and note it\u2019s for the GoFundMe campaign) and we will add your donation to it.

Please share our campaign as far and wide as you can. Remember that only a $5.00 donation by 5,000 people will enable us to reach our goal.
