Vision Australia Radio (VAR) is proud to announce Uber as this year's major presentation partner for White Cane Day. VAR is highlighting the achievements of people who are blind or who have low vision and celebrating the white cane as the important symbol of blindness and tool of independence in a two hour broadcast from 12pm on October 15.
The broadcast will share music from some of the community's favourite blind and low vision musicians (who are appearing at #WhiteStickFest) plus interviews with change makers and the latest news on advancements in assistive technology. We will also play some tracks from #WhiteStickFest performers across the day at other times too, so listen out for them.
