BC Place glows teal for the 'Shine A Teal Light' campaign
October 23rd, 2020
BC Place will glow teal for the 'Shine A Teal Light' campaign in support of Food Allergy Awareness on Friday, October 23rd.
Food allergy can make Halloween treats tricky to navigate. Potential risk of a reaction means that many kids are left out of one of the year’s most exciting holidays. So how can we take the fright out of food allergy, and make Halloween a safer, more inclusive holiday for everyone, while at the same time, also increasing food allergy awareness with the general public? By shining a teal light on the issue!
Teal has become the recognized colour for food allergy. Food Allergy Canada suggests replacing your regular porch light with a teal bulb, or displaying other sources of teal light on your front porch, to show your neighbourhood that you have allergy-friendly treats and toys for Halloween. Shining a teal light helps to create food allergy awareness and sparks conversations on how to support kids with food allergy.
