On Saturday, October 11, from 1-3 p.m., the Wisconsin Council of the Blind and Visually Impaired will feature the White Cane Safety & Awareness Walk at MATC’s Truax Campus. See the White Cane event flyer (PDF: 160KB) and registration form (PDF: 68KB) for details.
The goals of this event are to:
- Raise awareness of the blind and visually impaired population in and around Madison
- Educate the larger community about the White Cane Safety Law
- Provide opportunities for participants to experience what vision loss feels like, using special simulators or a white cane
- Introduce attendees to the new “Quiet Cars� that are challenging the safety of the blind and visually impaired.
We hope to encourage safety for all through this event, and we invite everyone to attend.
