Time: At sunset, approximately 9 PM, Burlington, Ontario

Lipedema Canada is proud to support community-led initiatives that raise awareness and foster visibility. On June 11th, join us in recognizing Lipedema Awareness Day with Lipedema in Lights, a special event organized by Jenn Sephton that will see the Brant Street Pier illuminated purple at sunset—the official colour of lipedema awareness.

This striking display is a tribute to those living with lipedema and a visual reminder of the importance of early diagnosis, compassionate care, and community support.

Please note: In cases of fog, rain, or snow, the pier may automatically switch to red lighting as part of its lighthouse safety system. This override cannot be manually changed.

We invite participation from near and far:

• Local to Burlington? Visit the pier at sunset and take a selfie with the purple lights.
• Elsewhere? Take a photo from home wearing purple to show your support.

Send your selfies to us via email photos@lipedemacanada.org or tag us on socials to be featured in our Lipedema Awareness community collage, a visual celebration of strength, solidarity, and shared purpose.

Together, let’s light up the night—and continue lighting the path forward for lipedema awareness.
