AboutFace is excited to see Canada illuminated again this year in recognition and support of Craniofacial Acceptance Month!
For the month of September, monuments across the country will be lit in red, yellow, and blue to bring attention to the need for awareness and acceptance of facial differences.
This year, we have partnered with over 40 cities and monuments, with illuminations happening in every province. These will help raise awareness of facial differences and the important work that AboutFace does to provide supportive programming, advocacy, and education.
Want to get involved? You can participate by visiting the illuminated monuments in your community, posting a photo on social media, and being sure to tag us! Our social media handles are listed below, and make sure to use the hashtags #CraniofacialAcceptanceMonth and #AboutFaceIlluminations.
