This International White Cane Day, I urge our corporate partners, supporters and the community, to reflect on how their workplace environments can more effectively support individuals with low vision or blindness. By embracing inclusive practices and enhancing accessibility, we can create workplaces that empower everyone.
Guide Dogs Queensland shines the light on the White Cane and the independence it provides to over 5,500 Queenslanders. I’m proud to share the story of our 2024 Ambassador, Mitchell, who completed our orientation and mobility program which included learning to use a White Cane. “It’s been a life changer – it’s given me more confidence and freedom to move around.”, Mitchell explains.
Join us in this vital conversation. Share your commitment to accessibility, engage with us on social media, and help raise awareness about the important services Guide Dogs Queensland provides. Together, we can build a community that not only recognises the challenges faced by those with vision loss but actively works to create supportive environments.
For more information on how we can assist and the full story of Mitchell, please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gCQ2VaFy
Let’s unite to promote independence and accessibility for all.
Thank you for your support!

2moAww, how sweet! This is a photo I took back in 2011 of Fin and Poppy, the Canuck Place Therapy dog. Poppy dedicated her days to providing emotional support to the children and families at the hospice, but she also knew how to have a little fun. Here she is during a special moment, celebrating Fin’s birthday with some well-deserved playtime. Your 'Dogs at Work' program brought up a heartwarming memory!
