White Cane group busy this week in Comox Valley
The Comox Valley White Cane chapter will be busy during National Canadian Council of the Blind public awareness week, which began Sunday.
Besides having a table Feb. 9 at the Comox Centre Mall and Feb. 10 at the Driftwood Mall, the local chapter will display some visual aids at its regular meeting Feb. 7 at 1 p.m. at the Comox Senior Centre.
This exhibition, courtesy of Humanware, will show some of the up-to-date technological equipment available to assist blind and visual impaired residents. It will be a chance for chapter members, and others who may wish to attend, to view this equipment in a hands-on situation.
It will also be a great way to learn more about coping with the ever-increasing sight impairment of age-related macula degeneration.
