VANCOUVER, BC – BC Place’s Northern Lights Display will feature a special Denim Day Show for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, one of 15 community initiatives to be amplified on the stadium’s illumination for April.

Denim Day is on April 26, a day of action and awareness when people are encouraged to wear denim to combat victim blaming and educate others about sexual violence.

Other community initiatives to be promoted with the light show during the month include World Autism Day, Sikh Heritage Month, World Parkinson’s Day, and the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Campaign.

In addition, the colourful and vibrant Spring Show returns to the Vancouver skyline on April 9, 22-25, 28, and 30.
