Vancouver, BC: BC Place joins other Canadian landmarks, including the CN Tower and Niagara Falls, in lighting up purple on May 24 to celebrate and create awareness for International Schizophrenia Awareness Day. The BC Schizophrenia Society (BCSS) is asking everyone to show support for the 40,000 British Columbians living with schizophrenia by showing their true colours on May 24 – as long as that colour is purple!
