Saturday November 14th was World Diabetes Day. For the occasion, twelve Montreal buildings were lit up in blue to show their support for the cause.
Why the color blue?
The World Diabetes Day logo is a blue circle. The meaning of this circle is very positive. In all cultures, the circle symbolizes life and health. The color blue refers to the sky that unites all nations and is the color of the United Nations flag.
This logo was adopted in 2007 to mark the passage of the United Nations World Diabetes Day Resolution and has since symbolized the unity of the global diabetes community in the face of the ever-increasing incidence of diabetes.
Twelve Montreal buildings show their support for the cause
A sincere thank you to the managers of these buildings who agreed to show their support by making the color blue shine throughout the city.
