This Sunday is International White Cane Day, which
is being promoted by the Association of Blind Citizens NZ
(ABC NZ).
The white cane is seen as an international
symbol of mobility and independence for the blind as it
allows them to ‘walk with confidence’.
Christchurch
City Council has a Disability Reference Group and its
responsibilities include promoting public awareness about
disability issues in the
community.
If you're using Scoop for work, your organisation needs to pay a small license fee with Scoop Pro. We think that's fair, because your organisation is benefiting from using our news resources. In return, we'll also give your team access to pro news tools and keep Scoop free for personal use, because public access to news is important!
