Thank you to everyone who joined our White Cane Awareness Day Virtual Celebration on October 14, 2022, to recognize the importance of the white cane for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, and DeafBlind in Massachusetts. MCB was proud to host the annual event to share information about the history of the white cane, the “White Cane Law,” white cane benefits, different types of canes, traveling recommendations, and more. Individuals shared their inspiring stories of using white canes. MCB's Orientation & Mobility (O&M) team was introduced. The recipients of the second annual Meg Robertson Mobility Awards were announced.
