Ever wondered what it's like to be visually impaired?
You can get a chance to experience what it's like this weekend at a free forum hosted by the New Westminster Lions Club, in partnership with the Century House Association.
The Seeing Things Differently, Living With Low Vision forum will feature information booths, presentations and activities.
Sighted attendees will get a chance to find out what it's like to be blind through interactive activities like a "sighting challenge," wearing blindfolds while trying to button up a shirt, lace their shoes, pour water and other basic tasks.
The forum will be held on Saturday, Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Century House, (Douglas and Fir rooms) at 620 Eighth St. in New Westminster.
Admission is free. - By Marelle Reid, staff reporter
