This October, communities across British Columbia—and across Canada—will be coming together to shine a light on Rett Syndrome Awareness Month. Each year, landmarks and public spaces glow purple to honor those living with Rett Syndrome and to raise awareness nationwide.

We’re proud to share that several incredible locations in B.C. have already confirmed their participation in Light Canada Purple 2025:

✨ Canada Place, Vancouver
✨ Vancouver Convention Centre
✨ B.C. Legislative Assembly – Ceremonial Entrance, Front & Back Fountain
✨ Confederation Garden Park Fountain and Waterfall
✨ Port Coquitlam City Hall

And that’s just the beginning! Many more sites across the province are still to be confirmed.

Across the country, more landmarks will be glowing purple, including:
🌊 Niagara Falls, Ontario
🌟 Manitoba Sign, Winnipeg
🌉 High Level Bridge, Lethbridge, Alberta
🏟️ SaskTel Centre, Saskatchewan

Together, these glowing lights symbolize hope, awareness, and unity for the Rett Syndrome community in Canada.
