Hi Clive
Yes, I agree. This is the first I've heard of it, so you live and learn.

Kind Regards,

Hi, not too sure about the idea of coloured canes. You are right in saying
that the white cane is the universal indication of blindness. I fear that in
offering coloured canes the impact will be lost and people will start to
think that it is some kind of fashion accessory rather than a major mobility
aid for the blind. Others may have different views but why confuse something
that is so widely? Regards to you, CJ.
