Canada will blaze in blue on October 12, World Arthritis Day

On October 12, to mark World Arthritis Day and stand in solidarity with people living with arthritis, buildings and landmarks across Canada will be lit up in blue.

Help us end the agony of arthritis. Join us in raising awareness; wear blue, visit a participating site, take a picture of yourself and amplify the message by using #Blue4Arthritis on social media!
