The Toronto Institute of Music for the Blind is a non-profit organization that serves as an educational hub providing blind and/or visually impaired children with the resources to learn and perform music.
About Our Mission
WHAT Do We Do?
The Toronto Institute of Music for the Blind (TIMB) is a Registered Canadian Non-Profit Corporation - 12613654 Canada Institute - that strives to connect and educate blind children and individuals in learning music.
WHY This Foundation?
This Foundation is personal and close to my heart after enduring 16+ eye surgeries since I was diagnosed with cataracts at the age of 12. The complications that followed led to ocular procedures to treat multiple retinal detachments in both my eyes, corneal transplants, glaucoma, and dislocated IOL, resulting in periods of months where I was totally blind.
About The Founder
Stelth Ng founded TIMB in the hopes of connecting blind patients with the opportunities to learn and perform music through educational and outreach programs in the Greater Toronto Area.
His experiences with childhood vision loss and subsequent inspiration through learning music during his eye surgeries has inspired him to change the lives of patients who suffer from loss of eyesight and irreversible ocular conditions.
