Did you know? By law, individuals using a white cane have the right-of-way in every state. Raising awareness of white cane laws helps create safer streets and sidewalks for everyone.
At Tuesday night’s Council Meeting, Councilwoman Jennifer Landry presented a proclamation recognizing White Cane Safety Day in the City of Zachary to Anna Claire Gayle, a strong advocate for the rights of the visually impaired.
