This evening Dame Cindy and Doctor Davies hosted a reception launching the Seeing Streets Differently campaign for Blind Low Vision NZ. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the barriers and hazards blind and low vision people face when they try to navigate their way in our streets. Ultimately, Blind Low Vision NZ would like to see consistent standards applied across New Zealand. Guests at tonight's reception were invited to wear glasses that replicated a variety of vision impairments, and then experience moving around a room with the aid of a guide.
