In honour of Canadian Council of the Blind’s White Cane Week in February, we’ll be holding a white cane awareness indoor walk at the Halifax Shopping Centre.

All are welcome including those who use white canes, guide dogs, or neither. We’ll do a few laps at our own pace around the mall before enjoying a snack in the food court. It’s a chance to get some light exercise, connect with others, and be visible as a member of the sight loss community. Sighted guides will be available or feel free to bring your own!

White Cane Awareness Walk: Thursday, February 12 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Halifax Shopping Centre (7001 Mumford Rd, Halifax), Entrance 3 near Winners. 

Please be advised that you must register for all programs. We kindly ask you to RSVP a minimum of 1 full business day before the start of the program. 

Registration required. To register, please contact Jeff DeViller, Executive Director, CNIB Maritmes at jeff.deviller@cnib.ca or call 902-456-5982.
