Proclamation: International Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness - March 26 2024

March 14, 2024 – Mayor and Council have declared March 26, 2024 as “Purple Day” in the District of Kent.

Purple Day was founded in 2008 by Cassidy Megan, a nine-year-old girl from Nova Scotia who wanted people living with epilepsy to know they are not alone. This day aims to improve the quality of life of people living with epilepsy, create a society that embraces the beauty of difference and helps us understand how we can all come together to make the world a better place. Residents are encouraged to show their support and solidarity through wearing purple and hosting events in support of epilepsy awareness.
