Niagara Falls and the CN Tower Light-it-up Purple for those living with epilepsy

Two of Canada’s most famous landmarks will be bathed in purple light on Purple Day, March 26. Toronto’s CN Tower and Niagara Falls have both agreed to an Epilepsy Canada request to Light-it-up Purple to create awareness of the need for epilepsy research.
Purple Day is an international grassroots effort dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. On March 26th annually, people in countries around the world are invited to wear purple and host events in support of epilepsy awareness. Last year, people in dozens of countries on all continents including Antarctica participated in Purple Day!
Epilepsy Canada will be asking everyone to acknowledge and support the 300,000 Canadians living with the epilepsy by posting pictures of the landmarks on Epilepsy Canada’s Facebook page and by tweeting pictures with the message #lightituppurple @epilepsycanada.
