BC Place will glow blue and yellow on Thursday, March 21st, for World Down Syndrome Day.

World Down Syndrome Day occurs annually on March 21st. The 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. The global awareness day aims to help raise awareness of what Down syndrome is, what it means to have Down syndrome, and how people with Down syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities.
