People living with the effects of brain injury continue to face systemic barriers and challenges in their every day lives.

Here is what we are doing to raise awareness.

Green & Blue Lit CN Tower

Have you ever wondered why our logo is Green and Blue?  Green and blue are the colours of Brain Injury Awareness!

On June 5th, the CN Tower is lighting blue and green for Brain Injury Awareness – a condition over 500,000 people in Ontario live with.

Here’s How YOU Can Help:

At sundown, find a spot to view the CN Tower from anywhere in our city – take a picture and post it on social media with your own message of Brain Injury Awareness!
