Learn more about supports for visually-impaired at Coquitlam Centre this Saturday.

How do you adapt when you are visually impaired? That's the question members of the Dogwood White Cane group will be answering Saturday with a booth in support of White Cane Week.

Volunteers will demonstrate various magnification devices and other supports for reading, including audio, large-print and braille books, as well as help for every-day living such as a talking labeller, talking clock and coin sorter. Drop by at the information table at Coquitlam Centre mall near London Drugs Feb. 11 from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

There will also be 50/50 tickets to buy in support of the Canadian Council of the Blind.
