Shining blue for Arthritis Awareness Month

Buildings and landmarks across Canada will be aglow in blue this week to shine a spotlight on arthritis and mark the start of Arthritis Awareness Month.  

Help us build awareness about the fire of arthritis by taking a picture of yourself at your nearest landmark, sharing it on social media, tagging the Arthritis Society and adding the hashtag #ItsNotJustArthritis.
