The exhibition will showcase the services and achievements of Guide Dogs NSW/ACT through photographs, posters and hand-painted ceramic model dog collection boxes. There will also be opportunities to cuddle young Guide Dog puppies, pat Ambassador Dogs, and watch a working Guide Dog demonstration – perfect for the school holidays.
Since Guide Dogs NSW/ACT opened its doors in 1957, the organisation has been delivering life-changing services to people who are blind or vision impaired. Throughout this period, there have been significant changes from how dogs are bred and trained, to the innovative accessible technologies that give people with vision impairment freedom and mobility.
