BC Place glows green for Adoption Awareness Month

November 9th, 2018

BC Place will glow green on Friday, November 9th for the Adoption Awareness Month.

Adoption Awareness Month is proclaimed every November in British Columbia to draw attention to the number of children and teens who are waiting for permanent homes through adoption, guardianship, or a kinship placement. Nearly 1,500 kids have been adopted from government care in the past five years, but there is still an ongoing need for more adoptive families – particularly, Indigenous families and families willing to take on larger sibling groups, teens or children with significant special needs.
