Last weekend, a record-breaking 98 structures illuminated pink across Canada for World Sepsis Day!

Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, these illuminations stood as a visual reminder of the impact of sepsis across all of Canada.

This World Sepsis Day, 98 structures will illuminate pink across Canada to raise awareness of sepsis!

Not only does this break 2024’s record, but this year will also see the first illumination in one of Canada’s 3 territories. A key moment in raising awareness in the North.
