White Cane Awareness Day

The purpose is to celebrate the abilities of persons who are blind or visually impaired and to emphasize the importance of the White Cane Law which requires that vehicles must stop when someone with a white cane or a service dog is crossing or attempting to cross the street. The Cane and Able “walk” with the Blind and visually impaired is at 1:30 PM. The walk is an opportunity for the Blind to demonstrate their navigation ability and for the sighted (who are willing) to be blind folded and experience what it is like to walk on the street without sight. RSVP is necessary to join us for lunch. Please RSVP Rachel Wheeler at 850.477.2663 or by email at rachel.wheeler@ibwest.org.
