Celebrate epilepsy awareness all of March!
Thank you to all the local businesses who are supporting Epilepsy Awareness in March!
March is Epilepsy Awareness Month, with Purple Day on March 26th—a perfect time to learn, raise awareness, and break the stigma surrounding epilepsy. Together, we can make a difference!
March 2025 Events
We had many events to promote epilepsy awareness during the month, check them out below to see what may be involved in future events.
I am 1 in 100
We have partnered with Epilepsy Ottawa and the Canadian Epilepsy Alliance to promote epilepsy awareness through the 1 in 100 campaign.
If you have epilepsy, download the sign that says “I have epilepsy and…” In the blank space provided, you can write about how you’re feeling or how you’re handling having epilepsy. You can also write about your hobbies, interests, skills, and life beyond epilepsy.
If you know someone with epilepsy, download the sign that says “Someone I care about has epilepsy and…” In the blank space provided, you can write about their hobbies, interests, skills, and life beyond epilepsy.
Take pictures with these signs to post on your social media platforms and tag Epilepsy South Eastern Ontario! We also encourage you to share this campaign with others and encourage others to post their own photos. The campaign highlights the range of experiences of living with epilepsy and that people with epilepsy are more than just their epilepsy.
