Guide Dogs Opens in St Leonards
Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)
—Speaker I recently had the pleasure of joining Guide Dogs NSW in opening their flagship office space in the lower North Shore community in St Leonards. Guide Dogs Australia have been the leading provider of Guide Dogs in Australia since 1957. A Guide Dog can create profound change for people with low vision and blindness, by offering a perfect blend of independence and companionship. Guide dogs offer independence through the safety and travel techniques they learn through their world class Guide Dog training programs. I was joined by Her Excellency the Governor of NSW, the Hon. Margaret Beazley and the Federal Member for North Sydney Trent Zimmerman MP, as well as volunteers, local stakeholders, and members of the community who rely on guide dogs. A special thank you to Sarah, Tori, Brittney, Chiara, Leane, Dale, Ian, Jen, Ingird, and of course all the guide dogs and puppies for such a wonderful event.
