Community Living Month- Shining a Light on Community Living
Brampton Caledon Community Living and other community living associations across the province will be lighting the outside of their administrative offices in blue and green at night throughout the month of May to raise awareness for the full participation, inclusion and citizenship of people who have an intellectual disability.
The CN Tower will be lit blue and green during its night-time illumination on Wednesday, May 11th, 2016. The lighting will begin at sunset, however it won’t become fully visible until the sky darkens sufficiently approximately 30 minutes later. Also, a standard light show will run for eight minutes at the top of every hour. The lighting will conclude at sunrise.
