Today, on October 15th, we celebrate International White Cane Day. This important day is dedicated to raising awareness about the needs and rights of individuals with visual impairments.
The first White Cane Week was held in 1946 with the support of CNIB and Canadian Council for the Blind. The white cane symbolizes the strength and determination of those who overcome challenges every day.
With the assistance of Foundation Fighting Blindness, the White Stick Fest festival takes place on this day, aiming to draw attention to the issues faced by individuals with visual impairments and provide them with support.
Today, various events are being held nationwide as part of White Cane Awareness Month. Learn more using the hashtag #WhiteCaneAwarenessMonth.
