Time: From sunset onward – approximately 9 pm Toronto time

On June 11, 2025, in honour of Lipedema Awareness Day, the iconic CN Tower will glow purple as part of a nationwide show of support and recognition for those living with lipedema. This powerful awareness initiative was organized by Jenn Sephton, and Lipedema Canada is proud to stand behind it, supporting community-driven efforts that foster visibility and connection.

The CN Tower will share the evening lighting schedule with another cause. As such, the purple lighting for lipedema awareness will appear during the last 30 minutes of each hour, beginning at sunset. While the lights begin at sunset, they become fully visible approximately 30 minutes later, as the sky darkens.

Please note:

• A standard light show runs nightly at the top of every hour for 5 minutes, with an additional light show at the half-hour mark.
• The lighting schedule is subject to change at the discretion of CN Tower management and may be adjusted without notice due to technical or operational needs.
• You can view the lighting live via webcam: CN Tower Live Views

We encourage everyone—whether you’re in Toronto or across the country—to show your support:

• If you’re in the area, look up and take a selfie with the tower lit purple.
• If you’re at home, take a photo wearing purple in solidarity.

Send us your photos and be part of our Lipedema Awareness community collage, a visual campaign to celebrate strength, unity, and advocacy. Email them to us at photos@lipedemacanada.org or tag us on social media.

Lipedema Canada is honoured to uplift voices like Jenn’s and to help shine a light—literally and figuratively—on lipedema awareness.
