Police officers from the service de police de la Ville de Gatineau joined the APHVO team to film a promotional and awareness video. The filming took place on Tuesday, June 11, 2019, at three critical intersections in the Ville de Gatineau:
- Boulevard de l’Hôpital and Oasis
- Boulevard Maloney and Alliance
- Boulevard des Allumettières roundabout.
Police officers are blindfolded to cross intersections in complete darkness. They realized how vulnerable a visually impaired person is when entering an intersection. They understood why so many blind and partially sighted people isolate themselves for fear of heavy traffic. When we leave the house, we put ourselves in danger.
